    Really random topic. But I was just wondering if any of you are hackers out there who happened to have had some free time and successfully built a Hackintosh on a Ibm Thinkpad. If so, can you PM me please?

    Thank you.

    What exactly is a “Hackintosh”? Since a Mac runs on Intel chips and BSD Kernel, besides being cheaper, what are it’s benefits over running BSD on a Thinkpad? Also, isn’t it true that Apple is very religious about aggressively prosecuting anyone who tries to put MacOS on non-Apple hardware?

    Beware of DMCA. You will be surprised to know how easily Apple can get you arrested! I know some big and famous companies who sent to jail some ex-engineers who emailed some source code they were working with to their personal accounts (from company machines).

    hackintosh? oh i thought you meant the guy who lived in the (foreclosure) house I am having inspected tomorrow.

    he hack-sawed all the pool equipment (4 pumps), all light system for pool, irrigation heads, pulled out all wires, controllers, patio covers, ceiling speakers and gouged out the central beam to his house so he could put in some speakers.

    Sigh. If you have to ask, you don’t know 🙂

    Apple forces Wired to take down netbook OSx86 video

    Was hoping for a backup to build a small iphone module away from home just in case. Just exploring options.

    Otherwise, ubuntu is way more flexible for what I need 95% of the time.
