After being <a target="_blank" href="http://hothardware.com/News/A_Sorta_Mac_Mini_For_399_Lawyer_Up_Psystar/">lambasted</a> by Apple from day one, dealing with more threats and lawsuits in a year that most of us will hear of in a lifetime and eventually <a target="_blank" href="http://hothardware.com/News/Mac-CloneMaker-Psystar-Files-For-Bankruptcy/">filing for bankruptcy</a>, the infamous Mac clone maker known only as Psystar is back. <br /><br />Shortly before most of America hits the pause button for a holiday weekend, the company made famous for producing its very own machines with OS X installed on them (without Apple&#39;s permission, mind you) has issued an email newsletter that clearly states that it is &quot;ready to emerge [from bankruptcy] and battle Goliath [otherwise known as Apple].&quot; Of course, the company is still awaiting a formal dismissal, but it sure sounds like it&#39;s eager to slip out and start selling Mac clones again.<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://hothardware.com/newsimages/Item10153/psystar-exit-letter.png" alt="" /><br /></div><br />Speaking of which, Psystar is exiting fincial purgatory with a bang by introducing its newest piece of hardware: the Open(7). The machine is based on Intel&#39;s newest Xeon processors (&#39;Nehalem&#39;) and can be ordered with up to 24GB of RAM. Needless to say, it&#39;ll be the company&#39;s fastest ever OS X-equipped machine when it ships...if it ships. Finally, the company gave one last jab at Apple, closing its letter with this admittedly awesome quip:<br /><br /><blockquote><em>&quot;When life gives you apples, make applesauce.&quot;</em> <br /></blockquote>Zing!<br /> </div><br /> <div class="newsTextBody" id="dvBody"></div><br /> <div class="newsText" id="dvComment"></div><br />
