<p>This is some sort of insane Joke, right? Selling to the general public a computer with a copy of OS X with a pre-violated User License? That&#8217;s not good guys&#8230;</p>
<p>I especially like the part about &#8216;non-safe&#8217; Software updates. Really nice. The average user is REALLY gonna understand that one <img src='http://www.markbenson.org/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Anyone remember that?</p>
<p>They got their asses sued so damn hard they almost spontaneously caught fire in the process.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t expect this <a href="http://www.psystar.com/">Psystar</a> bunch to last long before Apple Legal catches up.</p>

<p>UPDATE: Yes, it appears it&#8217;s now called the &#8216;<a href="http://www.psystar.com/index.php?&#038;page=shop.product_details&#038;flypage=flypage_images.tpl&#038;product_id=1&#038;category_id=3&#038;option=com_virtuemart&#038;Itemid=72">Open Computer</a>&#8216; instead&#8230; Interesting.</p>
