Apple Still Battling the Clone Wars
In an interesting turn of events, Apple might actually be the one
taking in hot water in its case against Psystar. Though Apple’s original plan was to chastise Psystar for producing Mac clones, a recent filing shows that Apple icould be under fire for failing to keep common documents and emails archived for easy access.
An anonymous lawyer says that Apple’s policy for data rention is “negligent”. Apple hopes to counter the claim by arguing that it’s retention policies were in check, especially when it was time to dig out documents pertinent to the Psystar case.
It looks like this case isn’t really going the way Apple had planned. If Apple doesn’t prove it had its documents in check, things could get really ugly.

This has got to be one of the goofiest pieces of FUD regarding Apple. An "annonymous" lawyer makes this unverifiable comment regarding Apples keeping of emails or other docs needed in a lawsuit. STOP STOP STOP, if this was true Apple would have run up against this issue ages ago considering all of the lawsuits they have had to fight (most of which have been pointless pieces of garbage). This law is being misquoted or misused in this instance, to attempt to throw dirt in the air and obscure Pystar's unfavorable stance, which was ruled against by the judge recently. A little more investigation by the journalists is needed here so as not to spread what is likely legalistic fud.
