The Empire Strikes Back

Remember Psystar Macintosh clones? (I'd forgotten.)
Well, now Apple, as one might have expected, strikes back at them.
I love Apple, but it would be interesting if Psystar could win this one, cheap clones would open up choice for Macintosh users, and put some pressure on Apple's prices.
Of course on the other hand they say Apple makes its profit on hardware, not software, and they need that profit to keep their interest in working on the platform.

There's a distinct lack of lasers or explosions in the links you provided. I'm very disappointed.

Yes, this is the less exciting version with men in suits standing in oak-lined rooms calling each other liars.
