Psystar "Definitely Still Shipping" Mac Clones

Psystar simply doesn't know when to quit. Despite being in the midst of a lawsuit with Apple, they continue to push their luck. Not only are they offering free Leopard restore disks to their customers, Psystar has also confirmed that the Mac clones are "definitely still shipping." They had better hope that their fancy Palo Alto-based Carr & Ferrell lawyers can back up all of this machismo. [InformationWeek]

Psystar Offers Free Leopard Restore Disc

Psystar, the company that's fighting back against being smacked down by Apple, has just decided to ship Leopard restore discs free of charge to their customers. If you remember, one of the (many) major problems with Psystar's machines was that you had to ship your box back to them if anything went wrong because their "hackintosh" approach to putting OS X on whiteboxes wouldn't allow you using a regular Leopard disc. Is this going to help or hurt their case against Apple? We're thinking hurt, because now they're shipping a modified copy of Leopard, but our only knowledge of lawyering comes from Phoenix Wright 1-4. [Psystar]

It's a "stability, compatibility and security" update, which also improves camera RAW image support, VPN connectivity, AirPort reliability issues with 5Hz networks (oooh, we might have experienced this), and fixes some iCal bugs, some Safari bugs, and some Spaces/Expose bugs. Hit up the full list here, then download the update with your Software Update. [Security stuff]

Giz Explains: Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard Parallel Processing and GPU Computing

As you've probably heard, the next version of OS X, Snow Leopard, will not wow us with a crazy circus of features like Time Machine and Boot Camp. So why would Apple spend a year programming an OS that they can't boast has over 300 new features? Here's a quick rundown of how Apple is totally rebuilding OS X to take advantage of Core 2 Duos, graphics cards and parallel processing, in order to deliver serious performance gains. And yes, that is a big deal. More »

Confirmed: Mac OS 10.6 Is Snow Leopard

OS 10.6 is called Snow Leopard, straight from Steve's mouth. Developers will get their first peek "after lunch." What about poor bloggers? [WWDC08 @ Giz]

iLounge 3G iPhone Mockups Run Gamut From Marvelous To Meh

We already have a pretty good idea of how the iPhone will work, from GPS, to faster network speeds, to how it will help raise you kids (lower prices), but it's always fun to see the crazy ideas people had in their heads for what they thought the new design should be. Wired roped up seven of the best, worst and impractical iPhone designs from iLounge, just in time for Monday's purported launch. Sure, this might be iPhone overload to the nth degree, but I think we can all agree Photochopping is the geek gift that keeps on giving (false hope). More »

Sneak Photos of WWDC Show iPhone, Leopard Banners

Reader Mark's brother just sent over this pic of an "OS X iPhone" banner found on the WWDC show floor in Moscone Center. You can't really tell much from the shot (no 3G iPhone leaked), but it does look like iPhone will be a big topic next Monday—something we've known for a while. Crunchgear also found these shots by Gernot on Flickr which also shows OS X Leopard. Check those shots out in the gallery. More »
