Apple Mac OS X 10.4.1 for Intel hits piracy sites


Recommended Posts

This seems like fake yes. Anyone can fake an .nfo file.

It's been discussed on Slashdot and noone has seen it on either BT, IRC, or Usenet, and the latter two are usually the first stuff like this appear on.

Unless the guy the article writer was told from is some sort of "0 day l337 h4x0r" it doesn't seem like true, and even if he was, it's strange that it hasn't been seen yet.

I know several including myself see it on bt. it may or may not be authentic tho. but ill see for myself soon enough :ninja:

I still say that this is fake no matter how many people try to say otherwise.

I checked every major protocol. Usenet, edonkey, private bt trackers. It's nowhere.

Even if it wasn't faked, the thing would be too damn buggy, debugging every single crash/error, having a possible expiration date, some sort of code/signature that would keep Apple aware of their development copies that they have given to every single company to develop their software and so on.

And in the end, what do you get? To use something that will only work (when finished) on Apple hardware.

even if its fake i was able to find it and if at least 5 people can find something one can always look harder. ;)

Just saw the .nfo somewhere in the usenet.. I will just wait till its uploaded.. then test it myself.. maybe someone will prove if its fake or not before I can even download this..

edit: well from what I hear its indeed fake.. tiger-x86--blah blah. the whole files is a dummy with GNAAGNAAGNAA..:p

The 956MB torrent, it has been confirmed by multiple places is just GNAA repeated over and over if you open the RARs in Notepad. It's a fake - sorry.

I'd wait to see in two weeks when the dev boxes arrive though. I wouldn't be suprised if an entire community springs up with 3rd party drivers for everything to get Mac OS X running on any x86 box...and then the lawsuits will ensue!

Prove it. That's all I got to say. Provide a screenshot that we cannot possibly say that it was photoshopped/edited.

Only then will your argument make any sense. It's fake, the users at slashdot say its fake and probably the ppl in mac communities say the same.

There is no concrete proof out there to say that it is leaked. If it was, most probably a lot of people would be downloading it on major networks but that's not the case.

We're not blind. we are all aware of the resources around us and most of these ressources can be easily accessed.

Thats because the AMD64 distro is 64bit code, whereas the intel one is most likely 32bit, when 64Bit intel chips become more mainstream, expect to see one 64bit distro.

actually, AMD was just the 1st to hit the market with 64bit cpus, (x86 compatable anyways), so, thats why its aptly named "AMD64" but if you throw an AMD64 distro on say a xeon with EM64T, it'll work exactly the same. there is truely no diffrence when its all said and done.

I think a user who commented on the front page made a good argument. Even if this was leaked - you'll need to come up with drivers to support your hardware. UNLESS you have the same hardware configs used in the dev builds.

    • The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had. Same with the built-in picarts selection.
    • What didn't you understand about that was mainly referring to Google, Microsoft, etc. keeping your passwords. Password Management is a key service of Bitwarden and it's not going anywhere. In any case they do offer export to other Password management services, backup/download of passwords, and the already mentioned on-prem option. I don't agree with the OP to use the free option as it's better to be an actual customer IMO. They don't just don't delete accounts like the big tech companies with no recourse which was the main concern of this article. I was confused if the author was trying to sell this setup? It should be obvious to anyone reading this article this solution is overly complicated and overkill for most users.
    • I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
    • Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.
