Today’s Winner For “Retarded Business Model” Goes To…

…The chuckle-heads at Psystar, whose web­site seems to be down, so here’s a link to the Ars story. It seems these frig­tards are sell­ing a Leopard com­pat­i­ble Mac “clone” for four hun­dred clams. Here’s a quick drama­ti­za­tion of the strat­egy meet­ing in Psytar cen­tral that resulted in this brave exper­i­ment in get­ting your asses sued off by el jeffe Jobs:

GUY 1: gur­gle gur­gle gur­gle inhale.…cough, cough. Hey man, you know what would be really cool? If we slap some com­mod­ity PC parts together with an EFI emu­la­tor and sell it to run Mac OS X on.

GUY 2: Dude, don’t bog­art the bong man. Yeah, that would rock, and we could sell it for, like four hun­dred bucks.

GUY 1: Oh yeah man. The pro­po­nents of free soft­ware will buy these like hot­cakes. We’ll be strik­ing a blow for freedom.

I don’t know who to pity more. These morons, or any fool who actu­ally orders one of these things.

peace out.
