And yes Devin’s comment is boggling if not potentially advocating fraud. How do I say that? Well the only basis he gives is that a “grudge” would be sufficient. I am sorry but “grudges” are not a sufficient cause for a lawsuit. How would Devin like it if I want around saying boy, I don’t like that Devin guy, I would find some lame excuse to sue him if I had the money.

This is outrageous irresponsibility. Yes I too am biased in my articles and reveal my bias, but I also give objective legal and unemotional reasons for my position as well. I know you have read some of my pieces Jim, so you know that I find some of commenting eerily similar to the James Taggert in Atlas Shrugged and the idea of any company being forced to assist their non-inventing competition as the role of Hank Rearden.

However some of the commenters are also from outside the United States, and I realize that there are culturally conditioned economic points of view. But this case is in America, and what Psystar wants is ridiculous government interference. Some of us in America still think that is wrong, but there are some of us who think we are “owed.”

Frankly I’m not sure just why so many are rooting for this company and why they feel the MAC with it’s tiny worldwide share is somehow a giant to be fought off.

The people that seem to be in support of Psystar seem to have a rather adolescent fetor to their reasoning as if Apple regularly grinds up puppies in a blender. They loudly protest on the internet but don’t actually take ant real action. Why so many let a company control their angry feelings and actions and allow themselves to get enraged and foaming begs the question of just who is controlling whom.

The comment from Devin of “Some VC with a grudge against Apple… I’d do it if I had the money.” is boggling. Thankfully, someday Karma will visit :)

and hey! I am from Florida. I could get in my car and take a tour of the Psystar digs if I wanted to. A bit of a drive but still….

Mindless Apple haters and Windows zealots with not a fucking clue between the lot!

Before you waste your time, there is nothing that says that. There is something that might be that, but I have some very good arguments why it isn’t, which I am working into an article.

So before you suggest to others to read the actual language in the claim, be ready to prove yourself. Now I agree this article is a piece of sensationalistic rubbish, it isn’t for the reasons you say.

However, over the past 13+ years of spam fighting starting with Cyberpromo I’ve found many, many spammers have all gTLDs set up under various smoke and mirror setups. Since the Psystar operators seem to be only a step away from such similar mindsets (Not to mention being in Florida which seems to spawn spammers) my suspicion is piqued.

Read the actual language in the claim. It says nothing about going after a deep pocketed puppetmaster.

And remember, all the cool companies these days start like that. A couple guys in a garage, until they get their break.

Groklaw seems to have made a compelling case that the companies were entirely different though the various coincidences (if they are coincidences) were striking. The fraud company was razorfx.net not razorfx.com. However both were registered in Miami (different people) and had offices in the same general vicinity (but not the same offices).

I believe there is something big here, but I do not think that is it. It is somewhat reasonable to suppose there might be, but we have to recognize that it is conjecture only.

If you have any additional information on that, will you shoot me an email? dizzle@worldofapple.com
