Apple Suit Demands That Psystar Recall OpenMacs

Da'Man writes "The Psystar saga takes another series of turns. Not only is the website down but an examination of the suit filed by Apple shows that the Cupertino Goliath wants Psystar to recall all Open Computer and OpenServ systems sold by the company since April. It seems that Steve Jobs is out to totally sink Psystar and put an end to Mac clones."

    I don't consider the people who bought these things to be the brightest bulbs in the world.

    The emasculated, non-functional FTC should jump in the middle of this and do a slapdown on Apple. What's wrong with the fundamental morality in the computer biz? Has it just evaporated? Apple has no injury here, just a monopoly.

    Oh, right.....

    He said people, you know - individuals...

    The only people who buy Apple anything are the unwashed me-too masses...

    Every time Apple opens up their product line to competition, the competition stomps them, until they close it back up.

    Yes they make *pretty* looking products, but you can get more functionality at less than half the price, and 99% of the time end up with better overall quality to boot.

    Yes, I despise Apple as a company, and cannot wait for the masses to be turned into a beowulf cluster so that they might have half a brain and watch Apple crumble...

  5. You guys don't like Mac OS...supposedly by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I don't understand what everyone is so up in arms about. You are all upset because Apple won't let you run Mac OS on any old intel box, but based on what people say here, everyone here hates Mac OS X and loves Linux or whatever. So what do you care if Apple is restricting the use of something you guys don't want to use anyway?

    If you bought an Apple product, you're still part of the proverbial "unwashed masses"...

    If I bought one of these and Apple caused it to become a huge paperweight, why would I then go buy a computer from them?

    With a lack of fundamental UI features like copy/paste? Well, I guess that's differentiating...

    Agreed, that was crap. But I think the new iPhone (released a few days ago) has fixed that.

    When did this happen? Nobody told me. My iPhone 3G can't cut/paste. Methinks you're talking out of your ass.
