OSx86 Cracked Again

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the oneupmanship dept.

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?"

    that if such a powerfull (talent-wise) company fails to create a considerabe protection for its highly wanted OS, and every release gets eventually cracked, it is yet another confirmation that they want it to be hacked?
