Apple cu procesoare Intel ?

gigahertzii nu-s buni ...
prea putini fata de Intel
stii care e primul lucru la care se uita un taran cand isi ia pc?

Whether or not this is true remains to be seen, however I'd expect that it's true in a sense. Logic says that it's only a matter of time now, since there is definitely at least one developer out there who copied his disc image of OSX x86 onto his laptop, went to work for the day, his little brother borrowed the laptop and took it to school, showed his friends, and with the help of Scott (that was the name of the best hacker in my high school way way back, replace with your hacker's name if desired) they managed to create a .img or .iso or similar file that they burned onto dvds for their friends. One of the eager parties, too ignorant to realize the potential for legal action against him and his friends, dumps the file onto his home ftp server.

Enter the sniffer, a simple and surprisingly prevelant autonomous program created by some brilliant but terribly dull people, it finds the file, sees that the fool with the ftp server didn't hide it from public access, and sends a url message back to the sniffer's maintainer. This person (with no life) creates a .torrent file for it and uploads it to http://www.torrentsearch.com or http://www.torrentspy.com or some similar area (don't email me telling me that torrentsearch doesn't actually host files but is only a search engine (actually many search engines), I know how it works, I'm trying to keep it simple for the masses here ok?), so anyway someone downloads the file, it ends up on their pc, and someone else downloads the file more quickly from the two combined locations, and 3 others download it and it comes from the first three locations, and in typically efficient bit torrent style the world now has OSX for x86 and it'll never disappear as long as people have their computers powered up and connected to the .net.

Ok, so that was a boring long read but it's what's happening right now, and it's only a matter of hours before we see the file appear somewhere -- probably not very quickly at first -- probably will take days to download at first... but it'll get faster. And somewhere a teenager who didn't bother with his home computer's security has opened it up for everyone. That person may be in big trouble now, but as I've written about in the past it's quite possible that Apple may just let it go.
