Apple Mac OS X 10.4.1 for Intel hits piracy sites


Recommended Posts

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I agree 100% percent with you except on the notion that apple will jump over to AMD.  I mean comon do you really think in the signed agreement there is any lee way for that?  I doubt intel would allow that especially since they are making such a huge commitment to each other.

If you were an Apple stakeholder having already been screwed by Freescale (n?e Motorola) and

IBM would you be in a huge hurry to tie yourself to Intel for any significant length of time?

There's no technical reason OS X couldn't run on AMD hardware and I don't think Apple would be

very gung-ho to create artificial business reasons that it couldn't. Of course 2 weeks ago I didn't

think Apple would move to x86 chips either so my knowledge of this business is suspect at best.

it will leak at some point, but with apple making this big of a move to intel most are asking if it will run on a pc, I dont think apple will be even stupider. So I would imagine that it prolly wont run on a pc or at least very well. Apple has been know for making smart moves

here is some info on apples proccesor plans http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2005/06/20050609212020.shtml

here are the specs of the mac intel comps, they do run windows fine

Minor highlights:

- "the thing is fast". All iLife apps are already universal binaries

- Pentium 4 660 at 3.6GHz, but will not be used in the shipping product (of course, since the high end Intel-Mac is 2 years away)

- DDR-2 RAM at 533. SATA-2.

- Presently uses the Intel GMA 900 integrated graphics chip set which supports Quartz Extreme.

- Regular video cards will be supported, but need drivers

- No Open Firmware. Uses Phoenix BIOS.

But do you understand my point?

Yes I understand the point you were making, I just don't think it's likely.

Is there any reason for Apple to sign a deal to stick exclusively with Intel (or IBM/Freescale) processors for <pick a time>? If there is a reason that I can't think of, do you think Apple's corporate types would go for such a deal in light of their previous experiences with other major CPU manufacturers? I don't.

This isn't really a huge commitment for Intel. Dell will ship more systems with Intel processors by the end of the month than Apple will ship with any processor all year. Intel's other major customers: HP & IBM/Lenovo wil also ship more Intel CPUs by months end than Apple will ship computers before the first x86 Mac comes out.

If Apple doesn't want such a deal, and Intel doesn't really need it - why would either company stick on it? I can see Apple having recieved a discount in exchange for shipping say 2 million CPUs by 2008, but that's fairly standard volume purchase fare. If they did sign on to use only Intel chips that clause is likely to expire long before AMD became leaps and bounds better than Intel by whatever metrics were important to Apple (performance/watt, production capacity, cost/cpu, whatever).

Nah -- It's a real leak, me and a couple of my online friends are running it.

I'm not going to give you a screenshot, or tell you where or how I got it though.. Hope you beleive me.

Lol, I'm burning the iso right now -- if I see an ass -- I'm gonna be ****ED.

What system are you using to run it?

I wonder if this leak will work on amd 64

How can you be "running it" yet you are only in the process of burning it?

Guys.. Sarcasm.

I just booted the iso from Mac.OS.X.Tiger.X86.READNFO-XISO. All it is is a picture of a guy showing his ######. It's fake, yet it still has over 1300 Leechers.

Just know that NOBODY is showing decent proof after a whole day... Just wait.

anyone out there not surprised by the fact they kept the fact they where doing this hidden for five years (making an intel build of OSX) ?

586057018[/snapback]

Not really to be honest. Steve jobs already mentioned somtiem back that "it is an option". And I'd think many companies would do this kind of stuff for experimental purposes anyways.

This thread has been cleaned, I don't want to see NFO's or information about illegal release groups - or you'll know what will happen to you.[/b]b>

Radish?

586054984[/snapback]

Not tyo sound rude or stupid , but i dont know why that line from Radish cracked me;)p ;)

Could a newer version of OS X be ready so soon after an official transition announcement? Or do you think this is a marketing scheme on Apple?s behalf to draw even more attention to the recent news?

Every build of OS X since the first release has been also compiled for the x86 platform. So OS X is ready to run even when Steve noted during the keynote, that 'we just need your [the developers] help to finish it'. Marketing scheme on Apple's behalf to draw even more attention to the recent news? Why? I don't think Apple need more attention. They have already enough.

The big bang is over, so let's get back to business. Apple is switching to Intel. And?

The soul of a Mac is its operating system.

I think many people have simply ignored the last, but most important message from Steve at the end of his keynote.

When Microsoft is just trying to fight in its 3 battles Apple is winning 2 and starting an advanced war:

Microsoft:

1 - Longhorn must be finished sometime in this decade (Too ugly to be true);

2 - MS needs to invade the music market, but how?

3 - MS is only software and it can be pirated.

Apple:

1 - Tiger is running and making Windows users dream;

2 - Apple dominates the music market;

3 - Apple is hardware and uses OSX to promote the plataform.

Who's winning and who needs help?

:whistle:

Please stop posting on the torrents being fake

We have had 17 pages of discussion on this leak -- and so far there hasn't been a notable leak to any of the p2p services as we know it.

Not only do we not have confirmation of their being a leak in the first place, but we have no real leak of this OS compiled for intel processors.

I really don't want to make a call -- but in all likelihood, it's possible something may have leaked -- but the article claimed the leak was being distributed at a fast pace through IRC and p2p networks -- oddly enough, only a fake file was spread. Yes, there are no real people who have a legitimate download of this as we know of, the only people claiming to are a bunch of 12 year-old trolls.

So knowing that, get used to hanging around in windows for a long while. Don't get made, we have longhorn beta's just around the corner. :o)

But several copies of Mac OS X 10.4.1 are being used by developers.

The Transition Kit includes a Power Mac with a normal P4 3.6 for tests.

Everybody can imagine that at least one of these copies will be online on p2p networks. And it's good for Apple because they sell hardware and millions of Windoze users are just waiting to have their almost-Mac.

Uncle Jobs is just shaking the market! :DD

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
    • Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.
    • I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
