Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Psystar's the company that, back in April 2008, started selling its own computers with Mac OS X preinstalled. Apple sued in July 2008, arguing that the OS X end-user license forbids its installation by third parties. Psystar has argued that the company acquired its copies of OS X legally and that the license agreement is unenforceable.
The legal battle continues, but that hasn't stopped Psystar from continuing to sell computers. The latest model, the Open(3), is a small (roughly 14 x 14 x 4 inches) desktop machine based on an Intel Core2Duo or Core2Quad chip -- it can also run Windows XP or Vista as well as various flavors of Linux. Listing at US$599, it features four USB ports, two PCI slots, two PCI-Express slots (one used by the standard NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS video card), and Gigabit Ethernet.
Compared to Apple's new US$599 Mac mini, the base Open(3) offers a faster chip (2.8 GHz vs. 2.0 GHz), more memory (2 vs. 1 GB), and a significantly larger hard drive (500 vs. 120 GB), while the mini comes with one more USB port, a Firewire port, and Bluetooth and 802.11n wireless connectivity -- and is, of course, one-eighth the size of the Open(3). The extra features on the mini are all available as build-to-order options on the Psystar, and the buyer would still have a PCI slot left over. Monitor, keyboard, and mouse are extra either way.
