Apple Mac OS X 10.4.1 for Intel hits piracy sites


Recommended Posts

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:

These GNAA guys are freaking hilarious -- Trolling slashdot, outspace? Jesus, This people are genius. LMFAO!!11one!!111

Well, whether is has been, or will be, leaked completely aside, it would be good if Apple DID release a special DEV only edition for us poor schmoes who'd love to try developing for the Mac, but cannot afford one...

Apple say they support open-source. They could help that along if they did this. Fine, make it limited, don't allow updates to it, don't provide support, but at least give us SOMETHING so we can develop for these machines! Hell, charge us for it if you want, I just want to try the thing and see what it's like to program with.

Plus... If current x86 users could try it out for a while (time limited copy?), there's a good chance when the Mactel models ARE released, people will buy them instead of a new Dell, especially if you can run Windows on it too!

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?

Apple = 2.5% market share

Windows et al = 97.5%

Ehm, who needs help?

You obviously don't get out much. Seriously, have you ever spoken to a girl without giving her your credit card number?

this is interesting

wonder if they allow hotlinking..

we'll see..

What codec is that .MOV file boss? My QT is choking on that one. I'm going to subscribe to this thread, but I'm hoping the install only looks for an Intel chip since I'm rocking my A64 :)

Ha ha ha! Oh gosh that's funny! That's really funny! Do you write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh. You know, I've, I've never heard anyone make that joke before. Hmm. You're the first. I've never heard anyone reference, reference that outside the program before. Because that's what the dog said on the show right? Isn't it? Without giving her your credit card number. And, and yet you've taken that and used it out of context to insult him in this everyday situation. God what a clever, smart boy you must be, to come up with a joke like that all by yourself. That's so fresh too. Any, any Titanic jokes you want to throw at us too as long as we're hitting these phenomena at the height of their popularity. God you're so funny!

That could be PearPC.

It did look kinda slow.

Really? I thought that was a pretty fast boot-up really.

Also, I'm thinking if these are basic Intel systems, or included basic Intel drivers, it'll be pretty easy to emulate the hardware at the very least.

One thing I have noticed in that video is the fact that the mouse cursor at a point jumps from the top left corner to the right side...also there are a bunch of real Mac's in the back of the screen they could have just somehow mirrored the screen.

well There is still one possibility no one yet raised!

what about emulation, if OSX x86 is going to be hardware locked, can't it be emulated, & without need for altivec & ppc instructions it would just fly!

Just think about those sad PearPC devolopers who just don't really have a project, now, will they continue to bang the dead horse & emulate PPC, or will they just start working on a version to support OSX on our lovely PC's!!! :devil:

Sure it could be a mirrored display but the video editor would have to go back in and modify each frame to say "Intel" instead of PowerPC.

PearPC also emulates a G3 so in that case About This Mac would say that.

I'd be really convinced if I saw System Profiler in action.

    • Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
