Are they trying to complicate this process as much as possible? Seriously, if you haven't seen the advertisements that tell you what to do in order to prepare, you must not watch TV very often.
Judging from the article, they used IM in order to accomplish work, rather than instead of work. Also, it seems as though it was used as an internal form of communication, so I'm wondering how it would be considered unprofessional?

Actually, it is. Because Psystar is the end user, according to Apple. If you read the EULA, it says:

3. Transfer. You may not rent, lease, lend, redistribute or sublicense the Apple Software...

So, Psystar is buying the license, making them the end user. They then redistribute it, which violates the EULA.

Even if this didn't apply, Psystar is not an Apple Authorized Reseller (one can assume), so they don't have the right to sell the software. From Apple's "Find a Reseller" page:

Please be aware that if you purchase a product over the Internet or through a Catalog from a Reseller who is not on the list, you are not buying from a reseller authorized by Apple to make Internet or catalog sales.

@darknerd

yeah, but you're not required to accept the license. Psystar is choosing to accept the license. And they're also choosing to go against the license.
From what I read, it said "Apple-labeled", which doesn't imply, "computers with the Apple sticker."

Because from what I see, Apple computers aren't labeled with stickers.
Even though they're going against the EULA? Apple's whole basis is that the hardware and software are made by the same company. Everything is supposed to "just work." This guarantee, of sorts, is lost when there is a 3rd party involved. Apple isn't necessarily a software company, they are a hardware company that happens to have a highly desirable OS. If Apple sold OS X to the public for use on any computer, it would go against everything they stand for, and make them far less successful.
I believe iPhoto '09 has facial recognition. Am I mistaken?
Actually, if you look that up in a dictionary, either orients or orientates is correct, though I prefer orients also.

Sanho? Is that Sanyo's slightly more promiscuous cousin?
Boston is out on both 3G and EDGE.

wtf at&t.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
