MacDailyNews Note: Make that over $34 billion, Pete. $10 billion difference still means something outside of Washington D.C.
Burrows continues, “Mac users want the whole enchilada. The world has changed immensely since Power Computing and the other cloners were trying to build their business. Back then, the Mac customer base was mostly companies and technically sophisticated consumers. Now, the company sells millions of Macs a year, to all manner of consumers. When they head out to buy a computer, they’re not defining the Mac as an operating system. The Mac is a stylish machine that runs a well-designed operating system—and a machine that is backed up by support from a company with one of the world’s strongest brands.”
“Psystar’s attorney, Kiwi Camara of Camara & Sibley in Houston, is hopeful the copyright case in California will be reversed on appeal (the partial settlement stipulates that Psystar won’t have to pay those damages until all appeals have been exhausted). And Camara says Apple’s decision to drop a spate of remaining claims against Psystar—on trademark infringement, unfair competition, and others—shows Apple wants to end this saga as well. ‘This [partial settlement] is too good to be true,’ he says. ‘I don’t know why they did it,'” Burrows reports. “A bigger unknown for Psystar, though, is why its founders decided to take on Apple in the first place.”

“$10 billion difference still means something outside of Washington D.C.”
Always with the political digs, MDN?
Dummies!
Relax. It’s his first time covering AAPL. $24 billion is so 2008!
No,Burrows is right and MDN is wrong: Apple owns 34 billion $ of cash and ,now listen folks, equivalents.
This means that this equivalents could be turned into cash very easily, but they are not cash.
The cash part of these 34 billion is,tataaaaaa, 24 billion $!
i’d like to know why my comment about why i was woken up at 1:30 in the morning by a push notification for this useless story was deleted…
In case you haven’t noticed, MDN is a right-wing tool who, like all of his teabagger friends, suddenly decided to care about fiscal responsibility on January 20, 2009.
“In case you haven’t noticed, MDN is a right-wing tool who, like all of his teabagger friends, suddenly decided to care about fiscal responsibility on January 20, 2009.”
A right wing Mac site? Methinks not.
@jake
Another candy-ass whiner.
Nice take MDN! Maybe one of them will be read by that irresponsible, spendthrift, incompetent jackass Pelosi.
@mike
So, candy-ass whiner, you can dish it out when Bush is prez but you can’t take it when your bwoy is acting the fool. Payback is a bitch, ain’t it?
@jake,
In case reality isn’t your forte (and it seems it isn’t), saying something as typically Liberal (read “mindless”) as “suddenly caring” about fiscal responsibility, after watching the Lib Dems nearly TRIPLE the deficit, shows just how vapid and intellectually bankrupt the bedwetting leftists have become.
(Gee, aren’t you happy you tried playing the hate card? I can rub your nose in your own crap all day if you’d like, make my day!)
Trust me, the libbos will never face up to the fact that they are responsible for the fiscal crisis today… all that to get monkey boy into the white house.
When people in finance refer to cash, they always mean cash and its equivalents. That’s what equivalents means, equal.
“$10 billion difference still means something outside of Washington D.C.”
that could apply to D.C. for the last 45 years and is a sad reality, not politics, jake-ass.
Seems that for most sheeple here the world is easily divided into Obamanoids and right wingers. Fortunately for our children’s future, this terminally stupid world view is dying.
@zek
I am with you. A two party Democracy? One that prides it self in regime change of sovereign countries. Democracy only works when the people you like win. If not, you can always have a coup d’état.
What this country needs is a Labor Party, one that does not have corporate interest at the center of their campaign funding. Then we would see real reform.
That said, it’s good to see Psystar crushed as there disingenuous business model gets exposed. Who would invest with them now, drug traffickers?
Somebody let me know when this site starts talking about Apple and not this political crap again. I can find this endless bullshit everywhere else.
@jake,
MDN is actually Rush Limbaugh’s technical arm… which explains the continual ineptitude in typos and generally pompousity of MDN takes. I only visit here because I like 30,000 ads per page (and my IT department does not block MDN – they only block sites that people would visit often that are not business related, and MDN is definitely not business related and certainly not a threat to anyone – annoying, yes. threat, hardly.)
@MacGuy Monkey Boy? Good one, bigot boy.
@Flackman
Ballmer is referred to as Monkey Boy, is that bigotry?
@Jake smells like a Liberal pussy!
@Think. No. Try to figure out why.
Flackman sees Obama as fresh out of the trees of Africa, thus he think money boy is race related. Non bigots find it difficult to see an implied insult, Real bigots (like Flackman) find insult in almost anything.
by the way Macguy, great point!
As the Dollar is destroyed, and America sinks, those in Washinton will only claim that more money (to them) is the only answer.
US zombies slowly awaken to the reality of being led by an empty suit
The number of Americans identifying themselves as Democrats fell by nearly two percentage points in November. Added to declines earlier in the year, the number of Democrats in the nation has fallen by five percentage points during 2009. In November, 36.0% of American adults said they were Democrats.”
The number of Republicans inched up by just over a point in November to 33.1%. The number of adults not affiliated with either party grew half a point last month to 30.8%.
Keep in mind that figures reported in this article are for all adults, not likely voters. Republicans are a bit more likely to participate in elections than Democrats.
