Does not negate the fact that for every Psystar clone sold and for every Psystar boot loader sold, California is losing taxes it gets from Apple. And Apple is a big money maker and tax payer in tax starved California which just might run a 25 billion dollar deficit this year

That is really stretched logic, Dennis. The federal judge is not paid from California taxes. . . nor are the few thousand dollars of sales taxes on the Psystar clones of that much value to make such a "corruption charge." Those actually could be collected by the state very simply by requiring Psystar to report its California sales (something already allowed by law) and requiring the purchasers to pay California Use Taxes (the equivalent of Sales Taxes) which is already a requirement of law. A desperate California Franchise Tax Board IS already doing this on many such out of state purchases.
