Apple Believes Someone Is Behind Psystar
rgraham writes "From the article on Growler: 'Apple apparently believes that somebody else is behind Psystar, which might help to explain why a major law firm would take on what seems like a fly-by-night's case; also why Psystar has been so bold in continuing to sell its products. I knew this thing felt funny. As Alice in Wonderland might put it, "It gets interestinger and interestinger."'"
It's me. shhh.
"From the article on Growler" ? Rob, you turned on spell check? That coudln't be!
Vista sales weren't very good, maybe Microsoft figured they could make more money selling macs.
MABASPLOOM!
Y'know what? I'll do them one better and say that I am ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that someone is behind Psystar. You'd have to be an idiot to think that it was an entity that ran itself with no human intervention....
This guy's the limit!
It can only be Amiga.

No doubt their soon-to-be-announced Flying Chair logo will shed some light.
Say hello to my little sig.
I think Jobs has been hitting the egg nog a bit early this year. Wizard of Oz stuff and backroom deals is really more the providence of large corporations like the one he's a member of, not small businesses that are trying to find a niche to grow in. But at least the fanboys who go along with this line of thinking will look even more ridiculous than usual, which is a nice stocking stuffer for those of us that have gotten about as sick of these "Hi, I'm a PC" commercials as the whistling guy on about "natural male enhancement". Heh. "Mystery men out to ruin Jobs!" Really, sometimes the right hand (marketing) doesn't know what the left (legal) is doing with that company...

Hmm...maybe that was Darth McBride?!? That would make sense, building a Death...err....Pystar.

For those who wonder WTF "growler" is, they meant "Greplaw"
And for those who wonder WTF "Greplaw" is, mcgrew meant "Groklaw".
From the Legal Filing:
Online commentators have reported that Psystar's Open Computer is..."LOUD, Crazy Loud,"
Never thought I'd see "LOUD, Crazy Loud" in a legal document!
That's right, Power Computing. They thought they could force their way back into the 3rd party Apple market. And they would have done it, too, if it weren't for those meddling Cupertino lawyers.
The Rothschild family, in order to destablize the US economy consipired with the Free Masons and the Illuminati to draw out Apple into a court case with Pystar to get anti-trust measures against Apple. The Skull and Bones and Pathagarians partnered to get the 'proper' judge and law firms involved because Steve Jobs refused to cowtow to the Grand Viceroy of the Pathagarians at a secret meeting in Prague.
Once the Osirians and Golden Dawn are placatied by Jobs with the seasonal sacrific they may interviene on behalf of Jobs but that depends if the New Dawn are not stopped by the rebel Crowley and the Keepers of the Flame. Since the New Dawn and Golden Dawn have been fighting since the 1950s after Crowley defected from the Golden Dawn!
If only the Sons of Liberty would put an end to this maddness with the help of the Neo-Templars! In the mean time we'll have to rely on government alien-hybrid psychics to try and mentally manipulate the court...

Apple realizes that companies are run by people.

I wonder who would have the most to gain by undermining Apple
Isn't it obvious? The Pear has been looking for vindication ever since the William Tell incident. And don't even get them started on the whole "discovery of gravity" thing...
There, fixed that for you.

Why can't all fpga/microcontroller manufacturers just release free optimizing compilers???

Personally, I prefer Awklaw and Sedlaw for most of my shell prompt legal needs.

I bet Wozniak finally snapped and is doing this out of spite.
Just don't break the seal and open it up the other way around. Have a toddler / pet kick up the keyboard until the I agree button is pressed, and there you go, no agreements between you and them.
My parrot is now very good at pressing the I agree button :)

Sounds eerily reminiscent of the end of *every bloody Scooby Doo episode* where the baddie turns out to be a supposedly amiable minor character who in reality was bitter about some business dealing and trying to subvert his former partner.
Sad thing is, I almost instantly visualised this in animated form, and I didn't even like Scooby Doo that much!
Woz would have got away with it if it hadn't been for those pesky.... um, lawyers.

Nah - as long as you don't "Break the seal", PETA should leave you alone :)
