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?"

I'm glad people are so smug in their beliefs that it's okay to have an utter lack of regard for the work product of others to produce an excellent product, one whose creation is predicated on the business model that company has chosen: namely, to sell HARDWARE along with their operating system. Apple has every right to choose that as the mechanism for selling its product.

What a great Valentines day! First I find out my new MacBook will have a 2GHz processor. Then, I find out that OSX can once again be loaded on every x86 box in my house. Now if VMware would just make an announcement today.

Yeah sure

Yeah, because Apple can't hire x86 experts.

I wrote a virus for Mac OS X... Here it is:

rm -rf /

Now just put it in a text file, make it executable, and run it on your system with root privileges, please...

Re:Yup as long as Dell isn't doing it

I suppose the fact that Apple doesn't make hardware

Your approach to debate reminds me of my ex-wife.
