Apple The soap surrounding PsyStar, the company that offers a Mac clone for sale, just keeps on running. After the initial launch, the company was plagued by doubt and mystery surrounding its actual existence, but soon after videos started popping up of the OpenComputer out in the wild, beyond the company itself. Thanks to CNet, the company may now have fully redeemed itself.

So, for about $50.00 USD less, you get a computer that is faster than a Mac Mini, yet is less useful because it doesn't have certain hardware and software features found on the Mac.

While I am no fan of Apple, I believe there is more to the end-user experience than just raw computing speed. I also recognize that what Apple sells is an integrated computing solution, not just an operating system installed on a computer.


Well, I think the greatest thing is the fact it is a crap product; there are so many issues with it, who would honestly waste a whole bundle of money on an inferior product? I mean, if MacOS X is *really* that important - then wouldn't one assume that purchasing the real thing as being better?
