I guess there is a bit of legal tidying-up to be done. Such as doing the actual bankruptcy thing (Ch. 7).

The question is, then, who gets the papers and records?

“Follow the money”

I wonder if they’ll be accepting donations towards the cost of a funeral?

And what about those poor saps who want hardware support?

I suppose that they can reformat the disk and install Windows. Hardware support can be done by a number of those PC shops

Does anyone know how many units Psystar sold?

If you build it they won’t come? Apparently a witness hired by Apple could find only 768 Psystar units sold. I wonder how may dollars in legal costs were paid per clone.

Sure would like to know who was banking these clueless loons!

Er, make that bankrolling these clueless loons…

Their website is back up, but there is nothing for sale.

What do you think of this:
“OpeniMac is the latest Mac cloner trying its luck with PC’s running OS X. With Apple actively taking blow after blow at Psystar, Argentina-based OpeniMac is offering almost identical solutions comprised of regular PCs that have been modified to run Mac OS X.”

Mr. Action is their old lawyer. Their current lawyer, Mr. Camara, disputed the story:

8 employees, yet a giant pimple on Apple’s ass.

Psystar’s site is (back?) online. I just downloaded RebelEFI, the “trial” version. When I tried to buy the paid version it was shown as “Out of Stock”.

Bryan Chaffin said that “Psystar has officially thrown in the towel, and is in the process of shuttering its doors,” with the key words being “...in the process….” This means that it has not shut down; there is no steak through its heart.

This is because Alsup has only enjoined Psystar from doing anything Apple covered in the law suit. However, I believe that he did not enjoin it from engaging in those parts of its business that have nothing to do with Apple’s products.

My reading tells me that the Fla. court is likely to rule similarly to the Calif. court. It’s also likely that it will lose all conceivable appeals in both courts. Even with these defeats, there is no reason to think that the stake has therefore pierced its heart permanently should Psystar’s backers want to pursue the non-Apple angle of its business. And the legality of the RebelEFI is also not completely resolved because Psystar developed it after Apple filed the suit. It had no way to anticipate this infraction, so is not included in the suit, is my understanding.

Even with these defeats, there is no reason to think that the stake has therefore pierced its heart permanently should Psystar’s backers want to pursue the non-Apple angle of its business.

True, I guess. But someone has to come up with $1.4m if Psystar wants to stay in business. If you don’t pay your judgements then you’ll be liquidated. Ch. 11 is *not* an option this time.

So the question is whether the backers are going to pony up the bucks to keep the game alive. If they want to do a non-Apple thing then why not start a new company? Paying this judgement to keep the shell doesn’t seem like a sound plan. Unless you want to own the records.

Hold it. Not so fast

PsyStar’s site is back up.

Maybe they have backing from Nosferatu.

If you follow the links on the site:  They go no where and the only purchasable item is a t-shirt.

I’d say DOA!
