AppleTV Becomes OSX Workstation

Posted by Hemos on from the reconstruction dept.

An anonymous reader writes "AppleTVhacks published a full howto install guide with 12 easy steps to turn your AppleTV into a full blown OSX workstation. With a processor emulation, hacker Semthex of hackint0sh.org, managed to get full blown OSX working on a AppleTV. The kernel for this hack is freely available under APSL and opens the legal way to a really cheap Mac Nano. With 300$ difference to the Mac Mini, this is becoming a fairly interesting deal." April Fool's, btw.

    Or...
    You could wait till a disk image of the hacked A.TV shows up on the seedy underbelly of the Internet.
