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.

"Again, I stress - the whole point of a competitor is for that very competitor to provide a superior product to the status quo.
Just as I told Kroc in the last thread: competition doesn't have to be on quality. It can be on price too. You don't have to be better to compete. Just be cheaper. "
Who the f*ck said anything about quality - how about some damn things working first! the very basics actually working! geeze, imagine if an OEM sold a box with only have the hardware working - you *REALLY* would come on here and parade the same half-assed excuse of, "oh, well, its is cheap!" - of course you wouldn't!
I know its 'cool' to senselessly bash Apple, but for god sake, using a half ass piece of crap as a trojan horse to jemmy open the Mac OS X EULA is pathetic to say the least. All pathetic attempts like the above prove is exactly what Apple wants to say - that only they can produce an experience because they control the whole widget. That is what crap attempts like the above do, nothing else. Re-enforcing of the status quo rather than challenging it.
