Exactly. It's well within Apple's ability to push an update that 
cripples most Hackintoshes. They don't. Ask yourself why.

It benefits Apple.

It's not even _that_ bad. Psystar is dragging down Apple's profits about 
as much as a flea drags down a dog.  Apple is using the whole Psystar 
case to establish rulings which strengthen their legal footing in other 
areas---They're perfectly capable of crushing Psystar if they wanted to. 
They aren't. Again, ask yourself why.

It benefits Apple.

As far as i'm concerned, their implicit approval is justification enough.
