Apple is hiring. You don't need any knowledge in computers or technology. A law degree is required however.
Apple is in court fairly often; I'm sure almost everyone is aware of the recent Cisco case. Most people are not so aware of this one though. OPTi Inc. announced today that it had filed a lawsuit on January 16 against Apple Inc. for infringing on three of OPTi’s patents (U.S. Patent No. 5,710,906, Patent No. 5,813,036 and Patent No. 6,405, 291). All three patents are part of what OPTi refers to as "Predictive Snooping of Cache Memory for Master-Initiated Accesses." According to OPTi, Apple utilizes the Predictive Snooping technology in its line of Mac servers, desktops and laptop computers. OPTi isn't suing just Apple; the small Mountain View, California-based company is pursuing patent infringement lawsuits with other "unnamed companies" as well.
I'd like to mention that OPTi has a very elaborate website, check it out below.

What good is a patent if you don't make something cool using it?
Oh, right. A lawsuit. Well that's freakin' pathetic.
Who knows... Maybe they'll strike an agreement: Apple makes a site for opti, and opti drops the case!
............nawwwt!
They still make chipsets... and it still matters who made the one on your board... ask anyone with one of the buggy nForce boards, or someone with a VIA board that has USB problems...

No I said "Before it mattered".
It seems like chipsets became less of a commodity in the mid-Pentium 1 era, when Intel's chipsets became the 'name brand' of the market, and everyone started aping them (remember "TX Pro" boards?) They've been since.
so says the irritated ULI M1695/1697 board owner who will never see a driver update again.
Does anyone remember back in the Pentium 1 era the OPTi 82C861 sound chipset? The drivers on this thing were almost impossible to install. You had to go through DOS and then later in windows replace 2 files that corrupt themselves. God it was hell!
I wonder what'll happen here.
