This would be fine if they didn't promise unlimited bandwidth; which is what I was shopping for when I bought my connection. Now they are essentially saying "those that bought our unlimited internet are using it too much" which is frankly bullshit.
They are not t be punished for"following" the law as you puit it. The have broken the law.
Do you get it? They helped violate our rights, the are complicit and should be held accountable.
You are naive to think we (the US) are the good guys.
Do good guys launch pre-emptive wars onj false pretenses?
Do good guys practice rendition and torture?
Do good guys suspend Habeus Corpus?
Do good guys spy on their citizens?
No, they don't.
Go back to your kool-aid and kindly stfu.
We are not the good guys. We lost that moral high ground a long long time ago.
If you are referring to the EFI emulator, remember that it does not circumvent DRM. It emulates EFI on Bios Motherboards. EFI is NOT a copy protection method nor was it ever designed to be. It is a replacement for bios.
Hackitoshes DO exist. You CAN build one easily with 400$ worth of components from Newegg. Leopard 10.5.2 CAN be installed with vanilla kernels. None of that is a hoax. I just recently built myself a quadcore mac pro clone for the startling price of $1000. It runs flawlessly because I built it to spec. All this IS possible.
What we have here is a business owner who thought it would be a good idea to sell some of these types of systems pre-built. He was ill prepared to make such a risky buiness venture; he was simply not able to meet the demand or handle the media circus it evolved into.
Think back to that old commercial in the dot com heyday. An eager team of entrepreneurs excitedly watch as their web store goes live. Nervous as first because nothing is happening, then the orders start coming in slowly and everyone breathes a sigh of relief. Orders continue to come in and everyone is high fiving each other, then the speed of the orders coming in grows exponentionally. Suddenly everybody is looking at the screen in absolute horror.
This is what I imagine happened to Psystar, only instead of a team of dedicated staff, this is one dude running businesses from home.
He stuck his neck way out there for this, and if Apple isnt going to sue, other more capable entrepreneurs should try to sell some of these prebuilt hackintoshes with leo installed before the partys over.
WhyCause is dead on. My Aunt is a great example, her ISP is AOL and she knows how to read email, surf the web and can use Word to type a letter and even print it. However she is hardly computer literate. She has no clue to the underlying fundamentals of modern computing. Sure she knows that double clicking that icon opens a window, but give her more than one open window and she's lost when she errantly clicks elsewhere. She can print only because her nephew hooked up the printer and showed her where to click when she wants to print. She can use email but hardly does because her inbox is constantly flooded with spam from all the things she naively signs up for. Her system is sluggish because it chokes on adware and she just thinks it's time to buy a new computer.
Modern fundamentals are what is key here. You have to completely 'get' the mouse: drag and drop, double click, right click, click and drag etc. You have to know directory structure and file paths. You have to understand that the internet in not just the web. You have to know that FTP and HTTP are 2 of many transfer protocols and each serve a different purpose. The list of basics goes on and on and on.
When you are computer literate, you can sit at a computer and do basic things no matter the platform or keyboard language.

Which is why my Quad Core Mac Pro Clone has a apple logo on the front and side. Finally found a use for the stickers that came free with my ipod.
