Psystar to Apple: Would You Consider $50,000 Cash and $2.65 Million in Unsold Hackintoshes?

If this isn’t the end of the line for Psystar, it’s damn near close to it. According to court papers filed Tuesday, the Mac clone maker has opted to pay Apple $2.7 million in damages rather than continue its ill-starred legal battle with the company. That’s quite a sum for Psystar, whose total assets, according to its bankruptcy filing, are no more than $50,000.

Pystar Annihilation Postponed (Temporarily)

Psystar’s 17-month legal battle with Apple may not end in the Mac clone maker’s total obliteration. The two companies have agreed to a partial settlement, court documents show. Odd that Apple, which just days ago seemed intent on hanging Psystar’s lifeless body from the gates of 1 Infinite Loop, would agree to such a thing.
