The Apple clone saga

Posted at 5:15 pm by Eric Fetters

So this week's Apple geek-centric soap opera - the emergence of Psystar and its Apple computer clones - hasn't died down much. Finally, Psystar's president seems to be talking more to fight skeptics.

Today, Forbes' tech columnist interviewed the guy, who talks about the company's latest glitch. It's having trouble processing credit card payments after already being forced to change vendors for that service. Forbes' Brian Caulfield also gets an expert to offer advice on how Psystar can start to shut up the non-believers.

TechNewsWorld has a good summary of the whole Psystar saga for those who haven't been following it. It may take a week or so more before the world finds out once and for all if all this is real, as that's when the first orders of the so-called Open Computer should start arriving on customers' doorsteps.

One thing hasn't changed: Apple's not talking about whether it plans to sue or not. No comment at all yet.
