Partially, just the main page, the forums and such are still down. Apparently his host killed his account because of how much of the server resources it was using haha.

Anyway, I'm getting tired of all the discussions of how this could be fake or not, so let me just reiterate again, the VERY VERY VERY simple way to fake this, is just take a screenshot of Windows and make it full screen on OSX, not hard at all, so lets give all the discussions of what VM it could be a rest and just wait for actual news.

the first thing i did after posting the msg on this board was post a msg on the contest board so it's working here

Not trying to sound funny, but why is it whenever someone does something like this, they take the crappiest photos of the workstation they did it on. Always blurry etc.

I'm not doubting its credibility, but if I had just done it, I'd photo everything - show it off.

Just a thought

Lol, I guess that answers what that black thing was, another computer!

But that is amazing! He really did it! I just want him to show us the option of dual booting.

Man, this is great news. Imagine, turning on your computer, and having the choice to load XP or OSX!

Who thought this day would ever come?

Ahh, he must have just gotten it back up. I hadn't checked RIGHT when I replied, but probably an hour or so before. Glad to see it all back up again :)

Just watched the video, nice, looks like he's done well. It all seems to work rather smoothly as well. Good job!

He's given it to 9 testers to try it out. We should hear the results by the end of the day!

I think it isn't possible atm to boot both Mac OS X and Windows XP. :/

must be possible if they submited their solution, because the contest said it MUST dual boot

nice i've looked at the video and it seems from what i've seen that pretty much everything runs smoothly, in the hardware panel even the network card seems to be working.

yup, everything except the built in iSight seems to be working

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
