Sounds like Bill Gates to me...

That sucks for Psystar...especially those who bought Psytar’s 3G “EyePhone”, “EyePodd” and “Mack”.

Friedberg said. "And I do believe they'll end up putting these kids out of business.''

Those kids should apply their talent to selling Linux boxes. One has to figure that they have the skills to write software for Linux to make it more Mac-like.

Bring on the clones and competition. These guys look like they can build a better computer

It's obvious Apple is ripping off its customers when these two brothers can sell an Apple computer for $399. $399 gets you a solid mid range Dell Computer. Quadcore for maybe $450. The rock bottom Dells go for $399 but include a 19" or 20" wide screen LCD monitor

In April this year, the enigmatic company Psystar began offering for as little as $399 an OpenMac computer that ran OS X Leopard and was a cheaper version of Apple’s Mac Pro. After the Mac clone became the favorite subject of all newspapers and rumors about a legal matter with Apple started to appear, Psystar defended its actions by claiming Apple had created a monopoly and the matter should be settled in court (wish granted!)

The problem is however that if Psystar won’t get crushed in court, and we do mean crushed, Apple will probably have to deal with a lot of rebounds in the future, when others might also be tempted to bet on the same card in order to make an “honest” buck.
