The Hackintosh Guide

An anonymous reader writes "A 'Hackintosh' is a computer that runs Apple's OS X operating system on non-Apple hardware. This has been possible since Apple's switch from IBM's PowerPC processors to Intel processors a few years ago. Until recently, building a PC-based Mac was something done only by hard-core hackers and technophiles, but in the last few months, building a Hackintosh PC has become much easier. Benchmark Reviews looks at what it's possible to do with PC hardware and the Mac Snow Leopard OS today, and the pros and cons of building a Hackintosh computer system over purchasing a supported Apple Mac Pro."

    Maybe we should start a swap program

    I'd be fine with that, were it not for the fact that too many of your fellow Americans are crazy.

    It's easy to question Apple's marketing campaign that says "Mac is for cool, young people. If you work for a living or have to get real shit done other than listening to your iPod or fucking around with your webcam, or are older than 25, Mac is not for you."
