Law and Order We've got some intriguing news about the Apple vs. Psystar case. The depositions where Apple asked questions to Psystar are now over, and now it's time for Psystar to hold depositions of several people in the very highest echelons in Apple. Psystar's new lawyer team takes a more open approach to the lawsuit, and has now published the list of Apple people that will be testifying, and is also asking for community input.

"Apple-labelled" was awkward to hear, it sounded to me as if slapping an apple sticker would make the installation legal. I seriously don't understand why Apple couldn't have made a better choice of words.

Agreed.

I think "labelled" more or less means the same as "branded" in this context. That is, a computer model officially sold by Apple. Replacing the guts of an old Apple computer does *not* count as an official Apple product.

The big problem with the "Apple-labeled" language is that it is so darn vague.

It could come back to bite Apple. If the judge takes the "Apple-labeled" part very literally, it could mean that the installation of your Hackintosh could be legal if you just put a sticker on your computer with the word Apple on it.

It's amazing that Apple's legal department let this one slip through.
