Open Tech is up for sale

Just as quickly as Open Tech opened up, the Mac clone creator has decided to put itself up for sale. Of course, we're not sure who would buy a company that could be sued at anytime by the Mothership.

Open Tech has information about the sale on their website. For just $50,000 (payable via PayPal, oddly enough), you will receive the following:
  • Open Tech name
  • Open Tech website
  • Trade secrets (as in secrets to ripping off Apple)
  • Press contacts (are they selling the actual people?)
  • 2 Open Tech machines with the OS of your choice
This information comes on the heels of Mac clone maker Psystar being sued by Apple for copyright infringement among other things. So, if you are looking to buy a company with built-in legal trouble, Open Tech looks like it could be a good scam deal.

Shane, I like you. A random reply in anger that is totally unrelated to anything said by anyone.

being the owner of various items of apple hardware it still makes me shudder to see blogs, and even comments shafting apple like they personally owe the company something. why the f--k is everyone so pretentious, leaping on board this 'fight the moral cause thing'.

Who gives one if a company is offering a competitively charged service, producing an ALTERNATIVE for the consumer. Its not like anything is being infringed on OSX, these people are fans of apple, that's why they go to the means of productively furthering a great product, OSX. Unlike half the pretentious sets on here who run around shafting the apple company, before actually thinking anything through. Do you all have shares in them or something? make me sick.

I would love to see the poor buyer getting this manila folder with some handwriting on it, "Trade Secrets"...the thrill!

I'd buy that for a dollar. On second thought, maybe not.

The .TK address will be back on the free market 90 days after the number of visitors drops substantially.

The name and website are worthless - in the case of the website, because it's just plain shit. The tradesecrets are dubious at best - and available on the internet in some form. The machines are gonna be worth less than a coupld of regular Macs and have no warranty - but let's be ultra, ultra, ultra generous for the sake of nice round numbers and say that they're $5k each. That leaves $40k for press contacts. They can't be that good if the rest of the entire company is valued so low. If anyone actually pays anything for this then they deserve what they get.
