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.

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
