A small Miami-based business has jumped into the deep end of the pool -- the one controlled by Apple in Cupertino -- by offering Macintosh clones to everyday consumers. Pystar's Web site has regular PC hardware capable of running Mac OS X Leopard unmodified for a measly $399, according to early reports. Perhaps "had" is a better word, because as of Monday morning, the site was inaccessible. Now that all new Apple Macs run on Intel's processors, which are also widely used in the PC world, it's fairly easy to get Mac OS X up and running on non-Mac hardware.
