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.

thats not the point. if they can do it, others will follow and give apple a run for the money like Power computing did in the past.
Did you even *READ* what I wrote; the alternative they have provided is crap, absolutely crap. The point of competition is for the competitor to provide a BETTER, meaning SUPERIOR product. The product which they are providing is crap. End of story.
What they did was a half-assed hack job; if they truly wanted to be some damn effort into it, they would have gotten a motherboard, paid for an EFI firmware off one of the many firmware companies and would have made things work properly out of the box - and for the damn thing not to sound like a jet engine when turned on.
Again, I stress - the whole point of a competitor is for that very competitor to provide a superior product to the status quo. The company in question has failed miserably at it. Its nothing more than a publicity stunt made by an individual (or individuals) who have far too much time on their hands.
