Lawsuit Between Apple and Psystar Moves Toward Settlement

An anonymous reader writes "Psystar and Apple have agreed to alternative dispute resolution to keep the public eye away from their disagreements, and to reduce legal costs. This will eliminate any rulings that would set a precedent over Psystar's claim that Apple is violating anti-trust laws by tying Mac OS X to only their hardware and thus creating a monopoly. This could result in a profit for Psystar's business, but eliminate their line of open-computing Mac-compatible PCs. On the other hand, what's to stop a similar company from doing the same thing?"

Psytar's Strategy

Look. You make Apple look bad by selling a PC for fraction of a Mac's price that run's OSX. You aren't making diddly on each PC you ship. Then Apple sues you for $50,000,000.00. Fine you say, make it $50,000,000,000.00, because we don't have it and you keep selling them. Finally Apple says they'll give you $100,000,000.00 if you quietly stop making them. VOILA! You're rich!

It's OK to tell us. We all have dark secrets. Here, have a coffee?
