OSx86 Cracked Again

The Cardboard God writes "The OSx86 Project is reporting that the intrepid hacker 'Maxxuss' has once again eluded Apple's security methods and cracked the latest release of Mac OS X for Intel, or 'OSx86', to run on standard x86 PCs. It seems Apple just can't win this eternal struggle with the hackers, as 10.4.4 included beefed up security designed to prevent similar hacking methods used on beta releases of the operating system. Is this a blessing for Apple, or simply a nuisance?"

No, it's pointless.

The new MacBooks (MacBricks? HATE that name) and Intel iMacs offer as much or more bang for the buck as anything in the Windows world

(*pauses, waits for the inevitable screams of "Oh yeah? Well the PC that my brother's uncle's cousin's friend built from chips scavenged from the dumpster at Fry's and a case from an PC-AT can smoke your fancy MAC (sic) and it only cost me 25,000 lire or something like that. I don't know exactly, I paid him in chickens and pies." *)

So why bother cracking OSX, when you can run Windows on your Mac (XP maybe, Vista definitely)? Or if you want something even cheaper, get at MacMini. Price/features wise, Macs are one of the best values out there. And slapping OSX on a beigebox PC and calling it the same as using a Mac is like saying putting Pirellis on your Chevy makes it a Ferrari.
