Recently, the Florida company deposed Apple executive Phil Schiller, only to suggest he was unprepared during attorney questioning.

The judge did not find Psystar's unethical behavior to be a laughing out loud matter.
Phil Schiller was prepared to answer the questions that Psystar had subpoenaed him to answer... but the counsel for Psystar went beyond those questions to ask about issues that only an expert witness in forensic accounting could or was qualified to answer. Psystar had already subpoenaed just such an expert who WAS qualified and prepared to answer those types of questions. Psystar's attorney did not ask the questions they had told Schiller to be prepared to answer, instead going far afield on a fishing expedition, asking about product margins, future product lines and plans, and other proprietary information. Apple's counsel refused to allow Schiller to respond to those questions and Psystar's attorneys walked out.
In addition, Psystar had announced that they would be asking other irrelevant, under oath questions of Schiller about things that the general public wanted to know—submitted to Psystar on their website—and would publish them after the case was completed.
As a result of these unethical shennanigans, Psystar was sanctioned $5000 for "abuse of discovery" for wasting Schiller's and Apple's counsel's time.
