This company apparently wants to give Apple several million dollars just like Psystar is going to:


Meet the Mini 10v

The Mini 10v is everything you want in a mobile companion and more. It may be small, but you’ll be surprised by all the fun features packed inside. Exclusively from Kuhgar, buy the Mini 10v preloaded with Mac OS X Snow Leopard! Have all functionality of a Mac at 1/4 of the price! This deal cannot be found anywhere else.

System Specification and What's Included with Your Purchase


Kuhgar, pronounced "Cougar" has a fairly non-functional website of its own, separate from its site selling the illegal Dell with OS X installed, that claims a history from 2005 selling computers under $299 with pictures including Sony Vaio's, Apple MacBook Pros, etc., however, their product page doesn't load.

I smell the odor of scam... strongly. Note that the image of the OS X box is NOT that of Snow Leopard but only Leopard... but they are using Apple's Trade Marks and Trade Dress freely... a violation of both... as well as violating the Apple's copyrights.n There's a good chance you send your money and you will get nothing back... but if you do, there's an even better chance that Apple will be suing Kuhgar for everything they've got.

Psystar has just agreed to pay Apple $2.7 million for their stupidity in selling unauthorized Mac clones... and not a week later we have some "Me, too! I want to pay Apple, too! Here, over here! Me, too!" dumkopffs have volunteered to be next! PING!


Stupid Mac cloners Ping!

From the website:

It has recently come to our attention that installing the OS X software on anything but a Mac violates Apple's End User License Agreement. We received an anonymous email informing us of the legality issues which referenced the Psystar case and we definately don't want to recreate that case. It was never our intention to violate Apple's EULA in any way. In light of this, we have discontinued this offer.

Please send all correspondence to info@osxonapc.com

How stupid can someone be?
