Attack of the Clones!!

The Clones have attacked... don't get me wrong, didn't you hear about the Mac-Clones and hackint0sh ?? Basically a Hackint0sh is a PC that runs Mac OS X, now that is supposed to be illegal. And if that was not enough, Psystar, a little known company had successfully launched Mac-Clones called the OpenMacs and OpenPros and made a pretty good profit for itself. All this happened in and around April this year when Apple was busy with the launch of iPhone 3G and then MobileMe.

In July Apple sued Psystar saying it was illegal to ship PCs with Mac OS X preloaded. Psystar, paying a little attention to this continued to sell its Mac-Clones. And now, as it turns out Psystar has counter sued Apple claiming that the EULA itself was in violation of antitrust laws!! Psystar also seemed to have problems with Apples pricing of its products. Now what is interesting to see is where is this heading towards ??

An interesting point here is that the law firm representing Psystar had earlier sued Apple for patent infringement and Apple had to settle for a 10 Million Dollars out of court settlement. What happens this time around is what everyone will be waiting for...
