Psystar violates EFI firmware license

...regurgitate this story a couple of more times, shall we?

Shift a few paragraphs around, replace a coupe of words - and presto, a brand new story, worthy of the MacNN journalistic excellence.

Right?

"...and even more puzzling still is Apple's silence on the matter."

Everyone is looking to Apple for their reaction. What is so puzzling? From Apple's perspective, there's nothing to react to! What are they supposed to do? Shake their angry fist and say, "You better not!!!"

*If* Psystar actually releases something, it's a job for the lawyers and no one else. But frankly, my bet is the whole thing is a hoax-- reminds me of that hoax back in the 90's where a couple of guys had the industry on its' ear because they claimed to have beaten Apple out with a Mac OS X clone before Apple themselves released X.

you keep coming back for more, zinkdifferent... are you a masochist or something?

forgot to add... ... what zinkdifferent said.

I think Apple knows something, these people are fools and they will soon self-destruct. If this was something worthy of squashing like a bug with an army of attorneys, it would have been done already. Clearly someone at Apple investigated Psystar like a proctologist investigates your colon and determined that it would be better to sit back and watch them implode.

If these guys aren't selling computers there's nothing to worry about. I'd be curious if anybody out there actually has a Psystar machine that runs Leopard.

...it is a $600-$850 plastic & pressed metal clone - much threat to the beautifully crafted mini or pro...?

Try a k car next to a bimmer?

Apple is targeting as we speak. I'm sure they have people looking into this whole mess. And when they're ready they will have Psystar shutdown in no time.

...that fucktard miguel liebermann is at it again. remember "Go-L.com" and L Computers? lol. idiot.

right up his alley.

dig a little please. this company is so fake i can smell it from here. i can almost guarantee that this thing is one kid focking around. just like the liebermann/go-l scam.

nothing on the site actually works or requires any real programming. the writing is a joke. clearly not a professional business. they can't process credit cards right now, because "their payment processor dropped the ball on us". someone set them up the bomb!

the "create account/account login" is featured prominently on every page, yet the 'form action', which should call to some logic or CGI, is just a reload of the same html page.... which means, it's fake. there is no account creation. it's all for show.

psystar appears to be run by:

Pedraza, Rodolfo rp@PSYSTAR.COM 3401 SW 104 CT Miami, FL 33165 US Phone: 3053566666 Fax: 3053575555

he also owns other domains that go nowhere/do nothing. some resolving to panama. the nameservers for psystar are also reg'd by rodolfo. if you map the address, it appears to be a small house in a residential area. real professional.

this "business" is a scam, likely trying to phish for CC #s.

technology blogs/new sites that can't undertake even the most rudimentary investigation before reporting should STFU.

Well, maybe they couldn't figure out what stricktly meant, so it inviolated that portion of the license...
