Apple wins summary judgments against Psystar

by Bill Stiteler on Nov 15, 2009 at 10:06 AM

The Apple vs. Psystar lawsuit isn’t going well for the “open computer” maker, as the judge in the California lawsuit has granted all of Apple’s summary decision requests, and denied all of Pystar’s. Think of it as the Lightning Round of the judicial system; it means the judge felt there… Continue Reading »

Mac cloner Psystar files for bankruptcy

by Josh Holat on May 28, 2009 at 10:52 AM

Surely you remember Psystar, the pesky little company that just wouldn’t stop cloning Mac computers despite what anyone did.

Clone Wars: the Argentinian “OpeniMac”

by Bill Stiteler on Dec 9, 2008 at 08:13 AM

And speaking of ugly, unofficial Mac clones, turns out Psystar isn’t alone. Engadget-chu, I choose you! Selling for $990 (or $1,330 with an LG 19-inch monitor), the base unit ships with 2GB memory, 320GB storage, and a 256MB ATI Radeon HD PRO.

As Apple and Psystar continue to duke it out over the sales of non-Apple computers running Mac OS X, Psystar recently filled a counterclaim saying that Apple was violating anti-trust laws in its exclusivity regarding which computers can run their operating systems. A California judge has dismissed the counterclaim. Psystar’s… Continue Reading »

Psystar goes even lower than Microsoft’s Mojave Experiment

by Adam Fisher-Cox on Oct 25, 2008 at 09:01 PM

A few months ago, I wrote a piece on Microsoft’s Mojave Experiment. The piece had little, if any, good to say about the ads. They were full of misleading ideas, research, and numbers. But they look perfectly angelic in light of Psystar’s recent ad push. You remember Psystar, right? The… Continue Reading »
