Some more information regarding PsyStar and its Opencomputer have surfaced, that try to dispel some of the doubts surrounding the company. Last week, the company posted a video online that supposedly showed the inside of the company, as wel as a bunch of OpenComputers running Mac OS X, Ubuntu, and Windows XP. In addition, a Gizmodo reader has sent a video to Gizmodo where he shows off his OpenComputer.

I don't see the huge fuss. You are paying (over the odds) - for an OSx86 machine, that you may not even receive at all, when you could build your own using the free information and software available on the Internet, for less.
Also, software update doesn't work. Just wait until someone uses a 'sploit to hose hackintoshes, and watch as the blame is placed on Apple for their "insecure operating system".
Secondly - the reason to have a Mac, is the hardware. You will not understand this unless you own Mac hardware - no matter what argument you have. (How can you argue against the real deal, when you only have the counterfeit?)
I don't care what "questions this raises", the Psystar computer is a crap knockoff, badly done and not even as good as a Chinese effort. I would complain less if they made something that could actually *compete* with a real Mac.
