Psystar Wars: Battle of the Clones continues. Apple and Psystar, the Miami-based hackintosh maker, are set for a court showdown in November. A settlement might be possible before then, but it seems Psystar is not backing down, and has released a brand new mac-clone called the Open(3) that costs as much as a Mac-Mini, but with some better specs.

At the heart of the disagreement between Apple and Psystar, is that the Miami company sells computer with the Mac OSX operating system. Apple claims it is illegal to install the OS on any non-Apple computer.
