Now you can simply visit our industrious friends in China to get your hands on some really cool gadgets. The “Spy Tie”, [...]
Not technically “legal”, or at least according to Apple’s EULA, Psystar have been creating PCs for the last month with OSX pre-installed. So popular are they that they’re unable to fulfil their orders, with various credit card authorisers buckling under the pressure.
