Mac OS X on x86 Videos Get Apple's Attention

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the almost-getting-away-with-it dept.

RetrogradeMotion writes "The OSx86 Project is reporting that Apple has served a legal notice to MacBidouille, a French news site that posted videos and instructions on running Mac OS X on x86 hardware . You can find an English translation of the MacBidouille notice on the OSx86Project's forums. This is the first known legal action by Apple regarding the hacked version of OS X and calls into doubt the future of other news sites, similar to the OSx86 Project." Slashdot previously covered the story of hacking Mac OS X onto non-Apple hardware and followed up again a few days later.

      Wouldn't that be the iJet or PowerJet?

      No, they filed for the patent too late for those designs, and Microsoft swooped in to clean up. They scrapped them when they were required to pay $10 per mile...

      That's correct. And if something were to happen during flight they could escape by using their iPods.

    With its latest cease and desist order, Apple demonstrated its new iLawyer program. A method the corporation hopes to use for protecting itself against any forseeable legal disputes in a method that's easy for users to understand. The new, friendly interface speaks English instead of lawyerese and comes dressed in a soft white suit.

    Elsewhere, Microsoft claims to have patented the underlying concept of using lawyers as a high-level communications protocol.

    Well you have some vague and unscientific evidence supporting your claim. As a slashdot reader this is enough for me to form my opinion. I'll go ahead and agree with you.
