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.
Bottom line is Apple feels Psystar is robbing them of sales. And if the Psystar business model disseminates it could get even worse. You are fooling yourself if you don’t think Federal judges can be biased towards businesses in their judicial district. They have to live there too and know that California is on the precipice
IOW Apple would lose in Florida courts
