| 658896 | 2008-04-15 03:29:00 | Saw that earlier. The Herald has picked up on it too. Just waiting for Apple Legal to sue them off the face of the planet and put some of that $18 billion cash pile to good use. | vitalstatistix (9182) | ||
| 658897 | 2008-04-15 03:35:00 | The question has to be asked: Why? (Horrible rendering of that site in Opera too!!!) |

| 658898 | 2008-04-15 04:14:00 | Why would Apple sue them or why are they selling an unauthoriszed Mac clone? Judging by what I have been reading, their web site is being hammered by people trying to get on to it. It will be interesting to see how Apple responds to it and what the result is. |

| 658899 | 2008-04-15 05:11:00 | It got slashdotted, and then the site went completely offline. There is a mirror up here (http://www.psystar.com.nyud.net/). | Erayd (23) | ||

| 658902 | 2008-04-15 07:01:00 | It's interesting, the Mac Rumors forum discussions seem to be about a 50/50 split for and against over the Pystar "Open Computer/Open Mac" concept with 1041 comments in total. So there are obviously a lot of long time Mac users and recent PC converts in favour of either something like this happening or of Apple building a much cheaper customizable Mac to fit the price bracket. | vitalstatistix (9182) | ||
| 658903 | 2008-04-15 08:33:00 | No. Just Hell no. If you want something customizable, here's an idea: Buy a PC. |

| 658904 | 2008-04-15 08:45:00 | righto, The first link now opens for me so I can see what all the ffuss is about. Its about nothing. Just a crappy computer. amazing how they don't look so "special" when they don't have the label and aren't asking 4 times its worth. |
