Week in Apple: ZFS going bye-bye, Apple TV 3.0, and more

// October 31st, 2009 // Tech News

Boo! This week’s top Apple news recapped the drama over ZFS on the Mac, what’s wrong with Psystar’s latest EFI tool, the new Apple TV software, and more. If you need to catch up, you’ve found the right place. Apple abandons ZFS on Mac OS X project over licensing issues : If there was any remaining doubt about ZFS support in OS X, Apple officially killed it last Friday. Licensing concerns ultimately may have doomed the project, but open source developers still hope to keep the dream of ZFS on Mac OS X alive. Meanwhile, Apple is hiring filesystem engineers of its own. Psystar’s $50 hackintosh tool not all it’s cracked up to be : Giving Psystar $50 buys you repackaged open source software but doesn’t guarantee a fully-functional hackintosh. Rebel EFI appears to be just another attempt to profit from others’ work.
