Oops. Looks like Psystar is trying to cut and run (and hide) from litigation.

Sounds like a perfect buy for Apple Inc.

How did this company think they could do what they were doing, without being sued?

The fools

They are exercising their 'exit strategy'.

Apple BEWARE!!

This sounds like carefully orchestrated trap if the clone maker actually owns the warehouse.

Most likely it doesn't, just rents it. Like many startup businesses do.

So don't read into this too much, commercial real estate is often for sale because it takes so long to get a buyer; the renters just change landlords.

In fact it's better for the seller of commercial real estate to have active paying tenants. Shows a rent roll which can be a asset.

So this might have been the plan of the owners of the warehouse, but now forced into a fire sale because of the Apple lawsuit against their tenant.

Interesting...

Yeah, I kinda doubt Psystar owned a building that expensive.

I wonder, will their Mac clones become collectibles?

Just slip out the back Jack... make a new plan Stan...

A quick look at the county assessors roles will tell you who owns the property. Owner(s) likely wanting to get out of the property. Just media wanting to make something of nothing.

Perhaps they'll sell their interest to a third-party interested in taking on Apple... for their own personal amusement or a chance to win a settlement.

This probably doesn't mean much for Psystar. If the buyer is a real-estate investor, they are interested in keeping the current tenants, because of the income from the lease agreements. The leases don't expire just because the building changes hands.

No! No! Apple... Be very AWARE!

The buisness world can be a very treasonous place endeed.

If you are a little paranoid... this whole "Psystar-buisness" was probably orchestraded by Microsoft from day one Very secretly of cause and totally behind the scenes in order to challenge the the "BIG Apple" and its very foundation.

They will of cause never admit that they have any contact with Psystar what so ever! Ence microsoft would lose nothing if Psystar loses the coming battle in court... But win big time if Psystar triumphs and opens pandoras box. I hope not!

I took a while... And understandebly so, for Apple to respond. that´s because this "battle" is VERY impotant and takes good preperation and a lot of muscle!

Good luck Apple!

Anyway... Apple should win this one!!!

Nothing like trying to sell your house the day AFTER you realize it's on fire.

Hear! hear! @Jim - TIV: "A truer misspelling was never better rendered."

Good call

But give a danish guy a chance... Poor spelling... or am I really rooting for the bad guys? Hmmmm....

I posted somewhere here at the beginning of the Pystar saga that big bucks back it. No surprise if it's Billy-Bob Gates.

What if Pystar buys out Apple? It could happen...

@ @Macfabulous

Well yeah! Someone had to foot the bull for those General Electric turbines they use to cool the Mac Clones.
