| 380862 | 2005-08-14 03:45:00 | Gads . . . I like it when I am a fortune teller . I mentioned . . . just MENTIONED that it would be curtains to Windows if/when Mac OS X gets onto a PC-based 'puter . . . and there's an article about that happening already . One or two lines here, and then the site: this is a news site ABOUT THE HACK, NOT THE ACTUAL SITE TO GET THE HACK . . . I think this is just a newsworthy article and not necessarily an opinion of/by/from F1 or even me . . . THIS IS JUST A NEWS ARTICLE! Imagine if your next Mac cost you only $300, and ran faster than any G4 or G5 you've ever used . That future may already be unfolding: Hackers have found a way to bypass a chip designed to prevent the Mac OS from running on non-Apple PCs, which are often cheaper than Macs . Some of the hackers are running the tweaked version of the operating system on their PCs natively . Others are using the system with VMware, which allows the Mac OS to support more PC hardware OK, now the site . . . check this out . ( . com/news/print/0,1294,68501,00 . html" target="_blank">wired . com) . . . . . . . AGAIN . . . I REPEAT! THIS IS NOT A STATEMENT CONDONING OR SUGGESTING THE BREAKING OF ANY LOCAL/MUNICIPAL/STATE/COUNTRY'S OR DIPLOMATIC LAWS . THIS IS JUST A NEWS ARTICLE . |

| 380865 | 2005-08-14 04:05:00 | I guess it's sleep time in NZ, but here in the US, we are awake and reading our tech mail...let me throw another at you: (this about OS X on PC's) Bound to happen, right? Or was it meant to happen? PC Magazine columnist John Dvorak sees a brilliant PR scheme at work that would allow Steve Jobs to grudgingly trot out an unrestricted version of OS X because The People have demanded it. This is what Dvorak wrote four days ago: "Here is how this scenario plays out. Apple plays the game with some sort of trusted-computing lockdown. The source code for the exact mechanism is stolen or hacked or both. It's actually weak and meant to be cracked. Soon the crack is on the Net, and with or without a hardware bypass, the code is shown working on a Dell. Apple protests and threatens to sue anyone caught running the code. This results in all sorts of publicity, as the average user wants to know what all the fuss is about." And here we are. |
