In a summary judgment this past week, all of Psystar‘s motions against Apple were denied. Conversely, all of Apple’s motions against Psystar were granted. The ruling states that modifying OS X to run on non-Apple hardware is a giant no-no, and, as Apple claims, violates the Mac maker’s “exclusive right” to OS X.

A factory 13-inch MacBook Pro included in the same tests booted in 49 seconds.

This gluttonous serving of bloated junk is now on sale in Japan. Also, Microsoft has teamed up with Burger King in the country to sell the Windows 7 Whopper. There are 7 patties of beef on the sandwich. See what they did there? Press “Start” to turn the defibrillator off after you’ve eaten one.
