Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs said:

• “We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We’ve decided to do something about it,”
• “We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.” Apple

Here is the statement from HTC posted by SlashGear

“HTC is a mobile technology innovator and patent holder that has been very focused over the past 13 years on creating many of the most innovative smartphones. HTC values patent rights and their enforcement but is also committed to defending its own technology innovations. HTC only learned of Apple’s actions this morning via media reports, and therefore we have not yet had the opportunity to investigate the filings. Until we have had this opportunity, we are unable to comment on the validity of the claims being made against HTC.”

“It was just recently that I found out about the EFi-X dongle, a device that plugs into compatible motherboards and allows them to boot a wide range of operating systems including OSX. The promise of being able to buy my own components and run a stable copy of OSX made building my own system the perfect way for me to accomplish my objective and likely save a lot of money as well. ExpressHD.com was also kind enough to sponsor this project by sending me one of their EFi-X dongles.”

“Portable attack runs on Windows PCs and Macs, then sniffs out nearby iPhones to plunder”

“It’s not surprising,” said Charlie Miller, a noted researcher of iPhone vulnerabilities, when asked his take on the move toward malicious intent. “This ‘vulnerability’ gives you root access to the iPhone, which gives you full access.

Hackintosh 10.6.2?

Electronista reports via “Apple breaking Atom chip support in 10.6.2?”

Apple may have taken out support for Atom processors in its latest beta seed of Mac OS X 10.6.2, one user says. Those testing it claim Apple has changed support in a way that breaks compatibility with the small Intel chips, including their ability to enter sleep mode through an unofficial extension. If it reaches the final build, the move leaves those making “Hackintosh” systems with little choice either to stay with 10.6.1 or else to wait for an unofficial fix.
