Apple clone presses ahead


Apple clone maker Psystar is still shipping its Open Computer, a relatively cheap desktop computer with Apple's Mac OS X Leopard preinstalled. According to a spokesman the company has yet to receive anything written from Apple saying that its activities are illegal.

The outfit is operating in violation of Apple's end-user licensing agreement for its operating system, and requires Psystar to circumvent Apple's restrictions on Leopard's use by adding low-level software that tricks Leopard into believing it's about to be installed on an approved piece of hardware.

Since its launch, Psystar has been relatively quiet, shipping Open Computers out of its Miami base. A company spokesman said that Apple has yet to contact the company.
