Hee hee, anyone here need a comp?

I know a company that would LOVE to get your money!

Mac clones for sale!

But they say that they intend to ship!  I'm sure they really mean it!

You can also send the money to my email addy and I'll be suuuuuure to send it to them. 

:mwaha

I would be interested to see if they can actually sell something.

Of course, I'd have to wait for reputable third party confirmation of delivery and arrival of the end product. And, of course, that said end product is as good as the original Mac.

The reason they're taking Paypal is because their credit card processor dropped them for violating Apple's license, where you can't run OS X on non-Apple hardware.  The address changes happened because they had to move to a commercial site to process all the orders that have come in since all this news started going on, and there was an error in the address change so they had to fix it quickly.

An article explaining all that can be found here:

Let's try reading more than one article before we start shouting "fraud" mmkay?

I'm sure it's still fraud.  You can't just go around replicating another company's technology anyway.

No matter what, they're gonna be in trouble.

Oh dear.

What technology?  Most macintoshes these days are just a laptop with Intel's EFI thing instead of a more conventional BIOS.
Now patching the OS to boot on something without their firmware lock is questionable, but then again the EULA which says you can't run it on non-Apple hardware is legally questionable at best.
