also have to look at the fact that he has just about every Macromedia software ( Photoshop/Dreamweaver/ect ) that he could have bought a mac outright

id say he pirated every piece of software on the system, Including OSX

*Edit* i find it hilarious that his Sig is filled with Mac icons INCLUDING a Mac Pro

Question: why do you care so damn much? Why don't you just let people get on with what they want to do without hassling them all the time?

Edited by acxz
I swear I've asked for these before, but which Finder, Safari, Mail, Bin and Stack icons are those?

I think you have LOL

Finder - Is from the resources files of the application called Process

Safari - Globes by IconDrawer: HERE

Mail - Air Mail

Bin - Not sure where I got it from but send me a PM with your email addy and I will send it over to you.

Stack Icons - The open source project called Aquave

  • Stay within the board rules, no matter how yummy you may believe it to be.
  • If you are going to quote, there isn't a need to quote an img-embeded picture - Just don't do it. Please just reference the post by page number/page link/etc.
  • Off Topic Posts will be edited or removed.

  • In the interests of keeping the thread on topic it is strongly urged that you format your posts in the following order:

Neowin recommends a home grown program, Neoshooter for taking screenshots.

Bring out that Apple eye candy and have fun!

-edit As of 06/02/2008 members may post their desktops if they are running OSX on non-apple hardware as long as they are following our rules and not promoting warez of any sort or showing files on their desktop that may be taken as warez. You will be warned in these cases.

Thread Cleaned

Thats the whole point, it isn't. OSX on Apple hardware works OTB. OSX on non-Apple hardware doesn't and needs hacking to make it work. NW will just get filled up with thread upon thread of users complaining that OSX doesn't work properly on their self-built malarkey, when it was never meant to be in the first place.

Fred Derf nailed it in a post in the OS X on non-Apple Hardware thread:

Neowin is a computer enthusiast community. Many of our members would like to run Hackintosh systems just for bragging rights. It isn't that different from our members who overclock their hardware. An overclocked Hackintosh box with integrated fish tank may be the ultimate geek experience. When it comes right down to it, we are here to serve our members. We are here to provide them with what they want.

Loyal Macintosh fans need not worry. Anyone who wants a production OS/X computer should be purchasing a real Macintosh computer.

You're only feeding the stereotype of the elitist Mac user with your behaviour. Are you sure that's a good thing?

QFT

How they can approve discussion of something which is known to be agaisnt a company policy is beyond me.

Because we don't care about another company's policy when it has no legal repercussions? Because there are OSX86 threads on Apple's own forums?

QFT

How they can approve discussion of something which is known to be agaisnt a company policy is beyond me.

We approve discussion on hacking Windows, which is against Microsoft's policy.

Come on people, we don't work for Apple, we aren't owned by Apple. It isn't illegal, so we're going to allow it.

This discussion doesn't belong here anyway, it belongs in the OS X on non-Apple Hardware Discussion thread.

*****Off Topic*****

I've had a few messages pop up over the last couple of days since OSx86 has been allowed about the system stats in my sig when I post in this forum... This is NOT an OSx86 box (not the I'm downing anyone who does have one)... This is a genuine Mac Pro.

PC's aren't the only ones that can have great/beefy hardware configurations. ;)

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
