Psystar “Definitely Still Shipping” Mac Clones

Psystar simply doesn’t know when to quit. Despite being in the midst of a lawsuit with Apple, they continue to push their luck. Not only are they offering free Leopard restore disks to their customers, Psystar has also confirmed that the Mac clones are “definitely still shipping.” They had better hope that their fancy Palo Alto-based Carr & Ferrell lawyers can back up all of this machismo.

Could ‘electric computers’ be the new iPhone?

An unusually-large shipment of 188 mysterious containers has arrived in North America from Apple’s manufacturing partners in China. The contents? “Electric computers,” a term that Apple has never before used on its customs declarations.

Additionally, 67 of the containers were destined for Canada, landing in Vancouver, BC.

These containers are not to be confused with Apple’s regular flotilla of shipping destined for the west coast. Typically, those containers are labeled as having “desktop computers” inside on their customs forms.

ImportGenius.com speculates that each container could contain up to 40,000 units of new iPhones.

Either that, or the UNIVAC I ordered finally arrived.
