When Apple sued OS X clone-maker Psystar earlier this month, some commenters suggested that multiple other cloners could spring up depending on the outcome of the case. Open Tech Inc. don’t appear to have the patience to wait, however; the company will apparently be selling two new computers that, while not coming with OS X [...]

While plenty has been made of the Voodoo Envy 133’s skinny dimensions, superlative performance and general aggression toward the MacBook Air, Voodoo are also rightly proud of their Splashtop implementation.
