I wrote the company (it's like my third e-mail gone unanswered) and recommended they change their name to Psyche Star. This little clone of theirs will never see the light of day. As I was saying, they're in Miami, and already changed addresses. http://government.zdnet.com/?p=3762 I saw we bet on how many hours/days it will take Psystar to vanish off the face of the planet. I give them 96 hours. What about you all? Quote:

Old news for most of you I'm sure, but... http://www.news.com/8301-13579_3-9921271-37.html These bastards are about a 25-minute drive from my house. I have a good mind to drive by and ask to speak to someone in charge, and videotape the conversation. Mark my words, they are going down quicker than Lewinski went down on Bill Clinton.

I'm sure Apple was already aware of this infringement upon their products, but I personally called Apple Customer Relations to report the issue and give them all the information about Psystar that I had. Hopefully this will expedite the downfall of Psyche Star. May they downfall be painful, costly, and embarassing. -Alra111

Alra111, I knew they were a scam the second I heard they were from Miami. How, you might ask? Well, I live there too! So yeah, you and I are two people with first hand experience on how things run here. Let's not forget how TigerDirect tried to come after Apple some years back because they said that the use of the name "Tiger" as a description for 10.4 was going to cause brand confusion and hurt their sales. As it is, their Grade-B products were already hurting their sales for them.

It now seems this company is a hoax or scam as their address keeps changing on their website. EDIT: merged 3 threads together. Let's try to keep this all in one place.

What's funny is seeing all the PC people over at places like OSNews debating on the merits of the EULA and denouncing EULAs as evil.
