Default Mac clone Psystar exposed: Looks like a Hoax


How could a company so brazenly challenge Apple have little to no record of actually being a company?

Gizmodo sent its army down there to get pictures of both their supposed addresses, and found that they're as much vaporware as the Phantom Console of yore. Ouch. Looks like your dream of buying a cheap Mac clone will have to wait a while longer.

First, let's revisit what we already know. Not only does the Miami Chamber of Commerce and BBB not know anything about any company named Psystar (confirmed by reader Travis through his contacts in the chamber), the actual physical address they listed on their website actually changed halfway through the day yesterday. What's going on here? Did they all of a sudden move from a home business into a new office space? Nope. Here's the deal.

It's still not clear whether Psystar is really a fake or its just Gizmodo trying to defend Apple's arse.
