Ah Psystar, a shady company that gives us much to write about. But sometimes lost in their ongoing legal battle with Apple is the fact that they actually manufacture PC’s running OS X that they then sell to the public at large. With that in mind, it’s only natural to wonder what exactly the Psystar [...]

Friday, June 12, 2009

The good folks over at the Boy Genius Report got their hands on the Palm Pre and overall their take on the device is about what I expected – good, but not great.
