Psystar Open Computer running OS X demo

[maw88ify]

icarly they use pear pc a Pear PC is the Mac OS running on a standard PC

Google "Pear PC" , "OS86", and Hackintosh ...

A Pear PC is a hacked computer...

I would rather use Linux Ubuntu or Linux Mint or one of the 1,000 of free distributions ... but that's just me.

[macfanofgi]

PearPC is a program for Windows and Linux that allows one to run Mac OS X under an emulator. Keep in mind that it was written and maintained before the Intel transition, which is why an emulator was necessary, as opposed to a virtualization program such as VMware Player.

[codeythesilent]

@

iCarly uses macs with case mods. They're still apple computers. Otherwise they'd have their asses sued like Psystar did.

[maw88ify]

@codeythesilent Maybe so but they were still pointing out the idea that Pear PC is out there ...

Just google Pear PC it is a real thing.

[maw88ify]

@codeythesilent Plus google iCarly Dell Computer Commercial, they don't even support Mac... they support DELL ... hahaha that's just funny ...

[kwansao]

leeeopard!

[Luellin1]

lol get them while there hot you mean available i feel bad for you guys big big fine but someone had to try i guess

[LomocosWrath]

Ehh, just USING one of these machines booted on OS X is a violation of Apple's EULA. Bah, probably wont get in trouble for it; Apple Legal has much larger issues on their hands.

[xHEKTIIKx]

have you not heard about all the law suits these last couple years, apple filed an almost 3 million dollar claim against psystar.

[LomocosWrath]

That's part of the "larger issues" that Apple Legal has(had) on their hands, versus the small cases of individual people USING Psystar computers.

[xHEKTIIKx]

ah, i see, i didnt read the statement clearly, my mistake.

[NeoDevilMan]

lol, yeah, like Apple is gonna find everyone who brought Psystar's machine and sue every single one of them until they file for bankruptcy.

[iamoctavian]

Apple is for children and the elderly. Even when they build an 8-core machine (Intel's Skulltrail) no single software application can evenly scale the cores anyways, so it's pointless. Most of the guts of an apple are made of PC parts now. Apple has a great advert team and engineers the best 'box' to hold its PC parts in. Should you pay an xtra $500-1500 for this 'box'? That's a personal decision, much like paying $6000 for oversized rims that spin inside your tires. " They spinnin' *****!"

[muhammadiq]

dude u got no clue...that is why apple not for sale to people like u...

[muk546]

just buy a mac

[CrewRite]

Psystar Comparison:

Mid-Size:

Quad-Core i7 Nehalem

2.9ghz, 6gb Ram

$1,899.99usd (about 2027.85cad)

Mac-Pro:

Quad-Core Intel Xeon Nehalem

2.2ghz, 6gb Ram

$3,299.00usd ($3,799.00cad)

[muk546]

check your pms i owned you shitty i7 ass

[CrewRite]

Huh?

[iTubeGiveaways]

Ok, CrewRite, you got it all wrong. Intel Xeon Nehalem beats the crap out of i7. It is 4-5x faster and is one of the best processors out there. AND, the Mac Pro you selected is 8-Core, not Quad-Core, so you have to compare this Psystar to the Quad-Core Mac Pro, not 8.

[CrewRite]

Just found a Mac Pro that's cheaper than Mac Retail.

Mac Desktop Pro 2.6 Tiger for $1600cad

[iTubeGiveaways]

Yeah cause its used (hence: Tiger is a 3 year old Operating System).

[CrewRite]

and the OS can be upgraded, its a powerful Mac Pro.

[warzhell08]

You should stick with Linux or Cloud Computers mabe make one that looks and acts like mac but has Dream Linux or a Ubuntu.

Driod is only for phones right now but Chrome will be out soon.

[knightterror1]

You want to keep making computers make one with Droid forget about OSX its way overrated.

[MilesWS1234]

Psystar are not breaking the law but the customer who purchases it is! Apple will sue your ass off!

[JonBarberFilm]

Lol, your an idiot. The customer who purchases it has done nothing wrong. The apple EULA says "you cannot install OSX on a non apple labeled computer, or enable others to do so". Please tell me how you see the customer buying the computer the one who's at fault here?

[LomocosWrath]

OK, wow... :P

Psystar broke the law by violating Apple's EULA.

Users of Psystar computers break the law by violating Apple's EULA.

Don't disagree with me. Try actually READING the EULA.

[NYz3R0dAY]

screw the eula. i have an apple mac and a pc running OS X. the mac runs tiger, and the pc runs leopard.

[MrAppletosh]

Apple will win Soon Psystar whitout OSX :-)

[LessthanJake14]

Oh I can afford one, believe me. In fact, I am going to buy a macbook in a year or two. Whilst Apple do make ingenius innovations (mostly with just notebooks), they still overcharge immensely for what you're getting. Why would I spend £1500 on a machine that is just as fast as the one I have now? Why?

[LessthanJake14]

And of course Apple take much more time with their components! All of theirs' are hand-picked and are of utmost quality....

Grow up, kid. All manufacturers use cheap-ass chips to reduce cost; it's called the real world. The only thing Apple does differently is add an EFI chip and put it in a shiny case to fool imbeciles (such as yourself?).

[girlsdrinkfeck]

hand picked ? ah yes right , because they use "DIFFERENT" intel and nvidia cocmponants ? fail apple hardware is low = medicore , its all OEM brand , same as dell , packard bell , acer , etc etc

[LessthanJake14]

Damn straight.

[SilentMystification]

@LessthanJake14 ha, utmost quality? more like out of date, overpriced components which only have good drivers, but even still, theyre nothing compared to what's out there in the Windows world

[LessthanJake14]

@SilentMystification Yep, you're completely right...hence why I said "all manufacturers (by which I mean Dell, HP, Apple etc.) use the same cheap-ass chips".

[LessthanJake14]

That you could do with ease.

[sa3atsky]

macs are overpriced - period

[LomocosWrath]

Well honestly computers just suck in general.

[tipoomaster]

these guys are going to get their asses handed to them in court :-)

[STLFANSS]

I hope not.

[tipoomaster]

me too, but realy, a local company against a multi billion dollar international company? I wouldnt hold out much hope.

[STLFANSS]

dam man, take long to reply much? lol

[tipoomaster]

Yea, for some reason the e-mail notifications arent working for me.

[1xxxDre4mxxx1]

your a moron, they are winning the case dude lol. learn to research before you write shit. apple are gonna change alot very soon.

[tipoomaster]

I would like to see your "research" that shows they are winning the case, if your so much smarter than me.

[chinchilla2302]

Who recently filed for class one bankruptcy? Let's see... Was it.... Psystar?!

[tipoomaster]

At least now admit that your comment is moronic, the courts ordered Psystar to stop.

[LucaPIRANHAMASTER]

SYSTAR SUCKS.

[LucaPIRANHAMASTER]

sry,i mean Pystar (my keyboard is a bitch,i will change it ^^')

[waynegacy666]

That's because you spent 2000$ in a MAC and that bitches you off

[CompsciWiz]

How the hell do you spend $2000 IN a Mac? Did he put 20 hundred dollar bills on his motherboard? No. So STFU, fix your grammar, and stop talking shit about Macs. If you don't like Macs, fine, but don't talk shit about it.

[waynegacy666]

Hey, I own a Mac Quicksilver, and I talk shit about them if I want to... The PRAM is the worst invention since "sugarless chocolate". Google: G4 Quicksilver PRAM Won't boot...

Let's see, the Mac Pro G5 costs from 2500$ to 6000$ with maximum RAM...

[CompsciWiz]

Yes, the PRAM is a crappy idea, but you said nothing about that in your comment. You said "That's because you spent 2000$ in a MAC and that bitches you off". This has nothing to do with the PRAM and is just spam.

[LomocosWrath]

MAC stands for Media Access Control, @waynegacy

You inconsistently used plurality tenses and perspective, as well as an improper comma-quotation arrangement, @Compsci

That's all. It's a year old.

[t3r4b173]

mac stands for macintosh.

[LomocosWrath]

Mac stands for Macintosh.

MAC stands for Media Access Control. It's not an acronym. PC is an acronym. Mac is not.

[banjosvideos]

NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

[penguinisnuts]

haha it says on the door that they are not open to the public. prettttyyyy shhaadddyy!

[theforeignXchange]

When he says "get them while they're hot,"

He means "get them before we get sued."

[ddtdanilo]

q mierda, esto daña el mercado de apple, los deberían demandar!!!!!

[roger767]

Apple needs to make a Mac Pro thats compatible with PC hardware, mainly videocards that way people wouldn't even think about Psystar.

[stilldescending]

Not if an Open Computer is half the price of the Mac Pro.

[JohnHFilms]

Made on a mac :)

[dalgoo91]

no it wasn't

[Bballer0905]

it's not legal. apple will sue the shit out of them

[dalgoo91]

but yet again , they may not

[nathg01]

Im sure Psystar are about to have a nasty shock when Apple sue and win and take them out of business....

[GreenMeanie2007]

Sounds like a thug.

I wouldn't send my money there LOL.

[warpigANONYMOUS]

congrats, any pc can run ubuntu. Shit, you can put Ubuntu on a 1 GB jump drive if you know what your doing.

also, you can put OS X on any PC. again, if you KNOW what you are doing..

[jadetraveler]

Yes, you can put OS X on pretty much any PC, but it won't necessarily work with all the hardware.

[warpigANONYMOUS]

yes, thats the problem with it though. also, you void your warranty if you do this so if something happens your screwed. so bottomline, dont do it. lol

[jadetraveler]

Are you saying that brand-name computers have a warranty that can be voided by installing another OS? If I want to buy a Dell and then install Ubuntu Linux on it, I should be able to do so without voiding the warranty.

I think the idea behind Psystar's OpenPro computer is that it can run practically any OS on the market, with all the hardware fully functional in each OS (it has the right hardware for OS X if you want to use it).

[warpigANONYMOUS]

no, you only void the warranty if you put OS X on it. you can put Ubuntu on it with out any worries. so go ahead.

[Slo888]

you can't get the whole mac operating system, just the skins so it looks like you do.

[warpigANONYMOUS]

yes you do, you just cant update it, or have a warranty.

[someone2602]

so that's how u say the name... i was thinking it was like pie star

[AllStarDeal79]

thats freakin against the law, for the mac

[z3cka]

he sounds like the comic book guy from the simpsons

[peestandingup]

Worst demo ever!

[BrandonTv7]

i know right

apples gonna sue them

[KingKurteous]

has Apple sued them yet?

[Blitzmanguy]

cool, how do you use Mac OS X on a PC?

[boobyman]

Google osx86
