I’m wondering of those blazing guns Psystar promised were loaded with blanks.

Good one.

Psystar has been awful quiet to the public in the past few weeks. I’m guessing it’s finally sinking in that they are pretty much out of options.

I think a fine that is the equivalent of that Apple lost on each machine FryStar sold sounds fair. Since they can’t file for bankruptcy for a bit since they abused that route there’s not much life left in this rather stupid company.

“Psystar said it was taking on Apple with “guns blazin’.”

Psystar, those orange pistols are not real guns.

Die-star.

I wonder if it will ever come out who has been footing PsyStar’s legal bills through this whole thing. I cannot imagine PsyStar has that much cash on hand. Nor would their legal team (idiots though they are) would continue to plug away the way they are - in two states no less - if PsyStar was behind on their payments.

I think if Apple gets an injunction, Psystar is going to have a real hard time going forward. Usually, the party losing prior to an appeal will have to put up a very large sum of money to over turn the injunction.

I expect Judge Alsup will include all versions of Mac OS X in his injunction, and Psystar will try to fight. I’m wondering of those blazing guns Psystar promised were loaded with blanks.

If Judge Alsup enjoins Psystar from committing all of the acts that he found to be illegal, then Psystar must on the effective date of the injunction cease committing those acts, which would mean that, pursuant to the injunctions, Psystar won’t be able to make Mac clones or its Rebel EFI software for hacking OS X, unless Judge Alsup or the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals stays Judge Alsup’s injunction, and even with a stay, Psystar would normally have to post a bond to cover the award of Apple’s damages, and Psystar will, if Judge Alsup enjoins the illegal acts, have to augment that bond a regular intervals to reflect Apple’s increased damages for every Mac clone and copy of Rebel EFI that it makes.

Now, Judge Alsup or the Ninth Circuit can waive the requirement of the bond, but Psystar would have to meet a very high standard to win such a waiver.  To begin with, Psystar must no only show that the hardship of such a bond would put it out of business but also that it is likely win on the merits on appeal.  Well, we already have some idea of what Judge Alsup thinks of the merits of Psystar’s case.  I doubt, based on the record, that the Ninth Circuit would have any better view of Psystar’s case.
