Psystar releases Nvidia 9800GT and Blu-Ray desktop Mac clones

Categories: Apple, Blu Ray, Featured, MacWorld, Nvidia

Just because Psystar and Apple recently decided to enter into arbitration instead of going to court doesn’t mean that Psystar isn’t going to try to sell as many machines as possible before the final decision comes down, no siree bob.

I’m guessing that this will give Messrs. Cooperman and Yorio lots to arbitrate. Via MacUser

How can Dell offers a sub $900 laptop with Blu-Ray and Apple can’t

Categories: Apple, Blu Ray

Blu-Ray is a not for Apple right now, mac users have been waiting a long for Apple to add Blu-Ray disc to the mac the future is looking worse in this matter when today Steve Jobs was asked about the state of Blu-Ray on the mac: "Blu-ray is just a bag of hurt. It's great to watch the movies, but the licensing of the tech is so complex, we're waiting till things settle down and Blu-ray takes off in the marketplace."
