    Psystar Is Crazy in Every Way

    Psystar's recent legal woes keep proving the company's insanity. New documents show that these guys planned to sell at least 1.45 million Mac clones by 2011. How many did they actually sell in the past year? 768. More »

    Final Round of Psystar vs Apple Might Be Called Off

    Psystar Sobers Up, Lawyers Up, Prepares to Die Go to Court

    Psystar Emerges From Bankruptcy With New Product, Same Insane Resolve

    In what is probably the most surprising non-celebrity-death story in weeks, recently bankrupt Psystar—surly maker of all things hackintosh—is now claiming to be ready for a comeback, with a new product in tow. This makes very little sense. More »
