Sony slices baloney with Connectix Mac/Playstation injunction " Sony sought the order, which was handed down by a San Francisco Federal District Court. Sony had charged that Connectix' Virtual Game Station violated Sony intellectual-property rights. Sony manufactures the PlayStation video-game system. In a prepared statement, Connectix said the court order does not affect the "tens of thousands of units" the company has already shipped to retailers. Connectix said it will continue to support sales of existing inventory through its marketing programs, and "look[s] forward to restocking our Mac resellers as soon as this preliminary injunction is reviewed." techweb.com Temporary ?

Pure speculation on my part, but I think Apple is expecting Avid to do an about face when they see the hardware planned for the high end later this year. I would bet that Avid already knows what Apple has planned for later this year (and next) [e.g. 4 processor G4 Sawtooth servers running an industrial strength SMP OS X]. I still think that there may be room for a raprochement in this area (like the Quicken/Apple saga), but I'm surprised that Apple let it get to this far.
