Mac OS X on x86 Videos Get Apple's Attention

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday August 17, 2005 @11:01AM 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.

And not very intelligent.

I work tech support for Apple. I can say with sincerity that I get at least 3x more men than women calling in.

*sarcasm*
Call me sexist, but obviously women know how to work computers much better than men.

It's also why I use Linux. Whether it's software or hardware, a monopoly is a monopoly.
