“It seems that Apple has grown tired of Apple-clone Psystar and has filed suit against the Florida company at the federal district court for the northern district of California,” Adrian Kingsley-Hughes reports for ZDNet.
“Apple, Inc., manufacturer of the well known line of computers and software, filed suit on July 3 in the federal district court for the northern district of California against Florida company Psystar, Inc. The suit alleges counts for violation of its shrink wrap license, trademark and copyright infringement,” Kingsley-Hughes reports.

Gee, wonder who’s gonna win this one?
Holy crap! Didn’t see this coming!!
Conversation at Apple HQ:
“Let’s see, how do we want to royally screw these scoundrels?”
“Software Update?”
“Lawsuit?”
“Software Update?”
“Lawsuit?”
“Software Update?”
“Lawsuit?”
“[Sigh] Life is full of hard decisions.”
Saw this one coming a long ways off!
And I bet they never planned for this.
Dear Apple Ninjas,
Took you long enough…
Much love,

Florida company Psystar, Inc. has just filed for a legal name change this morning in federal district court to “Scorched Hole In The Ground” because, “It just made more sense.” Apple attorneys were reportedly seen leaving today in a corporate jet from a Cupertino airfield headed to 10475 NW 28th St., Doral, Florida with 200 lb. bags of salt each.
I thought Microsoft demonstrated it was ok to rip off other people’s ideas and become a major corporation!
Well, its about time.
Wonder if they would have filed sooner if the clone had been more competitive.
No, I really did see a lawsuit coming over this when these junky boxes hit the market.
Thing is I am amazed that it took apple this long to file suit.
@ Nutcracker, you’ve never watched cats stalking their prey, have you?
they be openin’ up a can o’ whupass….
Apple probably was waiting for Psystar to put the noose around their own necks.
Psystar issuing software updates and an XServe rip-off ought to give Apple plenty of ammo to shoot ’em down.
How’s that for mixed metaphors!
