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?

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.

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. ;)

    • I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
