Hardware, Embedded Systems The number of Mac clone makers is growing by the week, so it seems. We have Psystar in the United States, a clone maker in Russia, another one in the UK, and PearC who now cover Germany, The Netherlands, France, Belgium, and Luxembourg. We can add a new one to the list, one that I personally thought was a fake, but is apparently very real. One that has a retail store. In California. Quo Computer (in case you're wondering, you use that thing on the right to navigate - it's weird).

Customers not reading the documentation is far different from a company intentionally misleading them in a case of false advertisement. So far, it seems pretty clear that it's not Apple hardware they are selling though. Where I buying, I'd be confirming how they support updates and upgrades but I'd do that for any software.

when was the last time you saw the average consumer read the support terms before buying a product?

There's no license for stupid. The retailer can only do so much and provided they have shown due diligence in notifying the customer, what more can they do? Even laws can't protect people from themselves so at some point, the consumer hast to take some responsibility for there choices.
