HOW TO: Convert a Mac into an x86
inventgeek writes "With the recent announcements Apple
has made regarding its operating environment, Inventgeek.com
has a mod that seems rather fitting. They have converted a Mac
G3 to an Intel P4 System capable of running Windows or Linux. Full how to
is available on there site for those brave enough to bask in what many say could
be Apples greatest folly, and a
blow to Linux." Update: 06/08 17:53 GMT by T : A few further Mac-OS-X-on-Intel notes, about the new Intel development kit from Apple: Readers jimboman78 and shooflot sent in, respectively, links to (mostly positive) comments on the front page of Accelerate Your Mac and a more skeptical but equally preliminary description at Think Secret.
Doubt it. It's not like he was trying to run OS X on it. When they do release a version of OS X for Intel, it'll probably only support Apple hardware anyway.
US businesses that currently accept chip and PIN/signature
They announced the dev kit would be P4 3.6 GHz, the spec for building applications for it indicates two platforms, PPC and ia32 by name.
XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve the problem, use more.
as long as they make OS X available for any Intel based system and don't try to lock people into using just their hardware
Sorry, but no such luck. :-(
"Hardware is not used under license. It is yours."
Try selling a used Scientology e-meter on eBay. eBay won't let you do it. Scientology lawyers claim the hardware is copyrighted. eBay said, "Please don't sue us -- you got it, no sales."
To create law from the primal soup, you first establish precedents. We're well along the path to "licensed hardware use".
