OS X on a Dell PC?]]>Oct 3rd 2008 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/They would earn tons of money on licenses !!!]]>Oct 3rd 2008 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/
By closing the doors, they've managed to more adequately support their hardware with their OS. Sure you can get 3.7 Dell netbooks for that 1 MacBook... But with the real Mac you know what you're getting. Good hardware, and an OS that "Just Works".

One last thing to consider, in 3 years that $1300 MacBook will still be worth good money if it's well taken care of... How much do you think those 3-4 Dell Mini 9 will be worth? The Mac holds it's value far better.]]>Oct 10th 2008 2:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/Oct 3rd 2008 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/Oct 3rd 2008 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/
You can practically run the OS flavor of your choice on this machine.

That's a GOOD thing.]]>Oct 3rd 2008 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/Oct 3rd 2008 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/Oct 3rd 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/
1300 / 350 = 3.7

You could have 3.7 Dell Mini 9s... So, actually he would have 3 fake macbooks to your one. Get a netbook out already, apple. Unless of course, you're sooooo expensive.]]>Oct 3rd 2008 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/Oct 3rd 2008 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/
is someone jealous that they don't have a netbook mac? hehe.. :P]]>Oct 3rd 2008 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/
A real Mac is one that runs OS eX, so stuff-it (All puns intended, but I doubt the fanboi will get it.)]]>Oct 3rd 2008 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/Pretty cool, too bad I canceled my order a few minutes ago because it got delayed again and... well, I'd rather have my laptop sometime within a period of a month after I ordered it.

Numbah two... you can get more than $350 for a powerbook. I got $400 for my iBook (14"). ]]>Oct 3rd 2008 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/
It makes sense for people wanting to put an OS on another computer, i can put linux/windows on every computer..why not OS X?
It doesn't have to be exclusive, that ruins the OS for me and everyone else, since I know apple can make it non-exclusive to their product line.]]>Oct 3rd 2008 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/Dec 2nd 2008 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/
While it looks nice, I just haven't the time to putz around with OS X.]]>Oct 3rd 2008 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/Oct 3rd 2008 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/
Spending a weekend trying to whip up your own support for a proprietary OS _is_ "putzing around".

(And I've no idea where you got the idea I'd be spending a weekend installing slackware; engadget talked about taking a weekend trying to find drivers that would work for OS X, and I said I'd stick with slackware. That implied, that I already run slackware; indeed I have for quite some time. BTW, it doesn't take a weekend to install slackware, because we _have_ drivers!) ]]>Oct 4th 2008 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/Oct 3rd 2008 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/dell-mini-9-hacked-to-run-os-x/

"internally-similarly" is very much NOT a properly structured term. What Nilay meant to say was "internally-similar".
