Oh, thank god, we almost went a whole month without hearing from everyone's favorite EULA-flaunters: Psystar is back, again, and ready to fight, again, except this time with real-sounding lawyers, and without the outward appearance of insanity. More »DieGo to CourtPsystar 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 »Psystar Owes Apple $75k For Some Reason
As part of their bankruptcy filings, Hackintosh maker Psystar declared that they owed Apple $75,000 for something or other. More »The Ugliest Apple Store I've Ever Seen: Quo

Unboxed Psystar Open(3) Looks Like Any Other Hackintosh
Someone got the first Open(3)—the kind-of-slimline Psystar Mac "clone"—and posted a lot of pics. Like its guts, it just looks like any other Hackintosh. You know, the ones you can make yourself. More »Psystar Ignores Every Lawyer In The Entire World, Debuts New Compact OS X Desktop
Somehow, between filing bogus legal claims and getting sued into oblivion by one of the most powerful companies in the industry, Psystar managed to design another flagrantly-infringing hackintosh desktop—this time, a tiny one.PearC Opens Up A European Front in The Hackintosh War With More OS X Clones
As evidenced by Apple's legal troubles in Europe, our friends across the Atlantic don't see the whole "antitrust" and "license agreement" thing like us Amer'cuns. Thus, PearC: the Hackintosh cloner that just might survive. More »Apple's Bloodiest Patent and Copyright Clashes
If Palm ends up in court over the Pre's multitouch, it'll join a prestigious line of firms that have tussled with Apple, which loves a good legal battle almost as much as sexy aluminum. More »Running Out of Options, Psystar Challenges OS X Copyrights
In the latest bizarre turn in a protracted, anything-goes legal battle, Psystar is basically claiming that Apple doesn't own the copyright for OS X. Sound unlikely? It probably is. More »Psystar Drops Antitrust Claim, Focuses on Copyright Issues
