@sciman111 That may be, but watch the video at the read link -- Birdwell pretty much just talks trash about SETI@home.

@ChrisTots Because it's a screen grab from the Fox 5 video.

@shadowj0 I can't tell if I'm more offended by your racism, or how pathetic and lazy it is.

@Autumn23 Rule 1, my friend! http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/editorial-the-engadget-style-guide-reaches-a-milestone/

@Vijay The thing about copyright law is that analogies to things that aren't covered by copyright law (like hot rods) simply won't help you. Copyright holders are allowed to license their works to you however they want -- it's a free market, and you don't have to buy if you don't want to. What's more, Apple's EULA wasn't even the big problem here, it was that Psystar was making tons of illegal copies of OS X from a Mac Mini imaging station. You simply can't build a business on copyright infringement -- which is pretty okay public policy in my eyes.

@(Unverified) No, Psystar has most emphatically not made an agreement with Apple that allows them to continue without pre-loading OS X. I'm betting that the California court bars Psystar from selling Rebel EFI, and if it doesn't it's a certainty that the Florida court will.

@Hydra "The EULA doesn't mean anything because I own it."

Well, the EULA pretty definitively means you don't own it, my man.

@Agent007 This has nothing to do with the post, but have you tried http://engadget.com/headlines? It's pretty much the old view.

@bjsguess It wasn't the readers. It was us, trying to improve our product -- we do write for a living, after all. And we haven't carved out special rules for iPhones at all. Where are you seeing that?

@TC According to our own rules we spell it Engadget. There you go.
