Apple Sues Mac Clone Maker Psystar

Apple (AAPL) has filed a lawsuit against Psystar, a Mac clone maker based in Florida.

The lawsuit, which was flagged by Adrian Kingsley-Hughes, is a little vague at the moment. The complaint isn’t available electronically, but documents reveal that Apple filed its suit on July 3 in the northern district of California.

Apple alleges licensing and trademark violations and copyright infringement. Apple apparently was waiting to see if Psystar was legit and finding customers before launching its lawsuit.

It’s odd that the complaint isn’t available unless it’s sealed. But the document history confirms the complaint was filed:

A case management conference is scheduled for Oct. 22 to determine where the case goes from here.

"Apple apparently was waiting to see if Psystar was legit..." and likely wanting to avoid drawing attention to them = free advertising. Any independent assessment if they're legit? So much internet reporting read like press releases, some investigative reporting would be welcomed and refreshing!

I would love to see more of this. The Mac is just a custom Intel based PC now, why not?

Toni, what does this have to do with Apple's Psystar lawsuit?

Idiot.

[Toni:]

"JW, PhD", why did you choose that alias and then signed your post with "Idiot." ?

BTW, AAPL is a sick puppy, did you see the performance today ?

NASDAD up over 3%, AAPL up 1,8%.

Thist stock is going to close below 170 soon.

[JW, PhD:]

I'd try to explain it to you, Toni, but idiots like yourself just wouldn't understand.

175 is now resistance.

Idiot,

you have already choose an alias, if you really want to coninue to use Idiot, you should click on change and modify it from "JW, PhD" to "Idiot".


"Everyone's posts have their name right next to them, so there is no need to add a signature. But everyone with an IQ above 75 already realizes this"

So you must realize It's unpolite use an alias and sign under another name, Idiot.

[JW, PhD:]

Keep demonstrating that low IQ, idiot.

2008 Jul 17 10:39 AM

[Toni:]

Idiot,

Ah, I see you are back signing with your true io.

Now, you need only to correct your alias.

AAPL is going below 170 soon, btw.

[JW, PhD:]

Toni, why do you keep putting your intellectual status at the beginning of each new post? And you were telling everyone AAPL was going below 150 back when it was trading in the 160 range. What happened to those predictions? Next you'll tell everyone that it's going to get dark when the sun sets tonight. More brilliance. When do you head to the unemployment office to pick up your check?

[Toni:]

Idiot,

I recognized you even if you are trying to diguise yourself by not signing.

"you were telling everyone AAPL was going below 150 back when it was trading in the 160 range"

Sorry, never told that.

Now I'm telling is going below 170, though.

2008 Jul 17 11:32 AM

[Toni:]

Actually, CLOSING below 170, it was already below 170 in intraday the past days.

And then LOWER.

2008 Jul 17 11:33 AM

[JW, PhD:]

Toni, why did you suddenly quit identifying yourself at the beginning of your posts? It really doesn't matter, we can still identify you by your username and the fact that you can barely type in proper English with correct spelling.

2008 Jul 17 11:39 AM

[Toni:]

Idiot,

what about your appointment ?

Is that a fantasy like your PhD (well, not that a PhD is really the measure of man, but writing that as a part your alias, in this place, is pretty ridiculus) ?

What about my spelling ?

Maybe you are fluent in my language, but I really doubt it.

So I can speak at least two languages well enough, for what you know.

Did you understand me, Idiot ? See ? You do.

Ok, that's enough. Go to your "appointment".

October 3: 2008, Psystar is still selling Apple clones.
