Mac software license agreement SLA ResKnife

Last time, we used ResKnife to create a customized SLAResources file. In this article, we use Little Disc+ (Version 3) to attach a software license agreement to a disc image.

To begin with, we have a folder titled My package. (See Screenshot 1.) This folder contains two files. And we want to convert it into a disc image with a software license agreement.

(See Screenshot 3.) Now, drag and drop the modified SLAResources file onto the drop box to the left of the window. (See Screenshot 4.) Then simply click on Convert. Little Disc+ will decombile SLAResources into a source file, creating a file named sla.r. (See Screenshot 5.) If you are done, close the front window.   Continue reading

Attaching Customized Software License Agreement to Disc Image – Part 1

Some software developers think, I suppose, that the software delivery form is important. They create a nice customized disc volume, laying a picture inside the disc image. You may have seen a disc image, which will open a software license agreement, when you double-click on the disc image. So how do you create a disc image with a software license agreement attached?

Little Disc+ is our No. 1 selling software title. And one of its features allows the user to attach a software license agreement, provided that you have your own SLAResources file. Right, Apple gives access to a default SLAResources file. But you don’t want to use it as it is. Rather, you really want to customize it to your needs. But how? And that’s what this article is about.   Continue reading

What’s Going on with Psystar Now?

Psystar Coporation

TOKYO (MacHouse) – Some 2 years ago, the name of Psystar Corporation, a computer retailer & manufacturer from Florida, USA, came out of nowhere and caught the attention of Mac users and the media over the Internet. Psystar sold computers, which they called Open Computers, with Mac OS pre-installed. Their idea was that users should be allowed to install any OS on any computer. But Apple, Inc. prohibits others from installing Mac OS on computers that are not manufactured by the company. Apple sued Psystar in July, 2008. And Psystar countered-sued Apple. One of the Psystar’s claims was that Apple engaged in tying contract, introducing part of federal anti-trust law, Clayton Antitrust Act, to the case. Nonetheless, the court ruled in November, 2009 that Psystar had violated Digital Millennium Copyright Act and then that the company violated Apple’s copyrights.

So what’s up with Psystar now? Do they still sell Mac clone computers?   Continue reading

TOKYO (MacHouse) – As of June 15, Apple, Inc. introduced a new Mac mini model. This new model appears to be characterized by a better-performing graphics processor. It is equipped with NVIDIA GeForce 320M. The company says that this mode is capable of supporting up to 1,920 x 1,200 resolution through HDMI port. Another interesting aspect is its SD card slot. The latest line of iMacs was the first to adopt an SD card slot. It can be quite useful for those who has an extra SD card and want to use it as a scratch storage space.
