Apple Mac OS X 10.4.1 for Intel hits piracy sites


Recommended Posts

i just want to get this straight.. so apple is now making its OS for the intel pcs..?

so in theory one who has a intel pc can install mac os on it

For the last five years ever since the first Mac OS X, Apple has been making an Intel version and PPC version. When the Intel version offically starts shipping you won't be able to install it on any PC, only on Apple specific hardware.

warz and stuff aside, what do we think is this thing real or not, I dont think it is, and i think when apple heres of this it means when apple does develop this for the intell processors they will build something into the software to prevent non apple hardware using os x.

Yeah right! Easily faked with Linux. For all I know thats gdesklets running Starterbar and a customized toolar at the top. Try again.

That screeny is definately fake. It even says PowerPC in the processor info of the about box. Jeez. :no:

That's tells you nothing, here's another screenshot (Keynote 2005):

What we need is actual solid evidence...which might take a while longer.

Now that screeny is real. :laugh:

I don't understand how anyone could post a screenshot, even if it were real considering they wouldn't be able to get it running due to no driver support. You could MAYBE get an installer screenshot, but that's as far as it will go.

Yes, it's really easy to be faked... but in that screen is a P4 2,4Ghz with 768 Mb of ram...(not the P4 3,6 with 2GB that Steve used in the Keynote) i thinked that can be true... but...can be a fake

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.

If its based on FreeBSD then it should be easy. Correct?

oh yeah? im sure like windows and linux you do not need drivers to get it to install and boot up. :laugh: sure you wont have sound or 3d graphics or... much of anything else but i bet osx will boot up no less.

There's still no evidence of this being real or fake, so I don't know what to think.

no it has been confirmed fake. :yes:

    • Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)
    • I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
