Psystar "Definitely Still Shipping" Mac Clones 833

Preedit writes "Continuing its defiance of Apple, Psystar is reassuring customers that it is "definitely still shipping" its line of Mac clones. And, in a further nose-thumbing at Steve Jobs, Psystar this week said it's now making Leopard restore disks available to its customers, even as Apple insists that Mac clones sold to date be recalled. In its story on the latest developments, Infoweek is reporting that tiny Psystar apparently has no intention of backing down in its legal dispute with the much larger Apple."

Ashlynne9423 writes "A report by the Center for American Progress and the Center for Democracy and Technology has found there is too little action being taken against online criminals, despite rising consumer concern about online safety. The report found that state officials were spending only 40 per cent of case time investigating online fraudsters, preferring instead to concentrate on higher profile solicitation and pornography cases."

Actually, that is a good point--technology consulting may be a smart way to go.
With your CS background, you would have the understanding to be able to deploy for clients...if you also have an aptitude for marketing/selling, you could easily excel in that area.
And, as some other slashdoters have pointed out, a lot of consultents only have their ability to sell, so if you have the intelligence/know-how as well, you are going to be well positioned to climb high.
