Mac OS X Tiger Accidentally Shipped Early

Posted by Zonk on from the ooops-hey-this-is-shiny dept.

boarder8925 writes "Engadget reports: 'In many places around the world, Mac fans and Apple distributors received a shipment they weren't quite expecting: Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger arrived at the door a full eight days ahead of schedule for some lucky folks who pre-ordered. Vendors PCMall/MacMall and ClubMac gave pre-order customers a treat by unleashing the OS ahead of schedule, quickly followed up by a 'recall' of the copies from PCMall.'"

    I really would like to see the guys behind thepiratebay get taken to court and lose. Someone needs to hurry up and do it.

    They're truly assholes like no other. Arrogant to no end, they think they're untouchable or something special that they can assist in copyright violation without getting in trouble.

    It's called hubris, people. And it's likely they won't see the edge before the fall.

    I do not get your point. DVD drives are perfectly usable for installing Tiger from a DVD, duh. Unless of course you plan to "upgrade" from a torrent (and have not preordered Tiger or do not plan to buy tiger on 29th), then you need a superdrive or an external drive or an ipod.... but in that case you are just a moron for using warez while having no idea how to actually use warez.

    Anbody who bought a computer with a CD-Rom drive only in the last three years is a moron and should sodomise himself for being such a dumbass.

    Any questions left?
