    Article on Blu-Ray

    Interesting move. Seems to make sense - offer something that Apple doesn't.

    Article on Notebook

    Also interesting. If it's priced lower than the MacBook it could garner some good sales. Will be interesting to see if it has a FireWire port (my prediction isit will).

    Not sure if this is the right forum - but it clearly doesn't fit under "Apple and OSX".

    My guess is that it's only a matter of time before Apple gets a judge to put an injunction barring (at least temporarily) PsyStar from selling those machines.

    After that, I'd be interested to see if Apple's OSX EULA holds up in court.

    I really hope PsyStar wins this lawsuit. I would love to legally own and sell OSX on PCs.

    I agree, I would love to own a computer that is not a Mac that can use OS X legally too.
