Recently, I read about someone just announced a Mac chip set. They used the
"clean room" approach to design/implement the hardware and the software. I 
think they are looking for takers to build something useful. They even had a 
copyright lawyer overlooking the whole process. The aricle also mentioned the 
possibility of law suits from Apple. As far as I can remember, Apple had not
comment on it yet. The article is really recent, my mind just failed me and I
have no recollection of where I read it.

Can anyone elaborate on the chip set?
