Colonel Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I think Maxxuss is 2 dudes. Close. Known each other their whole lives, at least for many years. 1 knows Windows and Linux. 1 knows Mac and Linux. Roomies at a college somewhere. Together they are The Max. The Ultimate.Max Us. Brilliant! That must be it! Now if only they would come out of hiding. I think we'll see them around WWDC. I think that the preview for 10.5 will be his next project. We can handle everything until then. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrp Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 If maxxuss is an Apple employee, then Apple hacked Skype for Windows.ROFL: That would indeed be hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezoflip Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hey. I found some 10.4.6 update for intel/amd. I just installed it. Works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KublaKhan Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I just thought of something... maybe Maxxus was the guy who figured out the XOM solution - for booting Windows on Macs.... Crazy theory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooknn Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Some people belive that 'Maxxuss' is actually Apple and they released the patches as part of a viral marketing tactic to get Apple 's OS X into the headlines. Dvorak was speculating about this possibility last summer. As crazy as he is, sometimes he make sense :pirate2: ...Apple plays the game with some sort of trusted-computing lockdown. The source code for the exact mechanism is stolen or hacked or both. It's actually weak and meant to be cracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiberia Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 its a bit odd that the Maxxster didn't come out with decrypted 10.4.6 bins, he/she could do this in a couple of hours, no big effort. Glad others have taken up the reigns now though. Last we heard from the Maxx they were talking about re-writing the 10.4.5 kernel.... maybe this is taking up their time. I don't think Apple hired him/her. Maybe Apple did track them down, and gave them a nice iMac system to shut them up or something. I know if I had a nice iMac I wouldn't be spending hours a day patching up my hackintosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franzy Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Maxxuss lmao none of us know who he is. It's just one of those people that don't tell you who they are, or if they really who they say they are, but you gotta love em. Personally, I think Maxxuss is a male student, who's just taking the time off for some studies - maybe hittn the books for an SAT retake, or maybe mom and dad's taken away the computer(s). Doubtful that Maxxuss is either a girl or an adult, mostly because I find that guys are more heavily involved in computers, less worried about white-collar jail, w/e, w/e. If he is an adult, I am also doubtful he would want to do that. Adults usually don't hack - their much too occupied with jobs, careers, family to want to risk their life to get sent to jail. Also, as an example, the computer experts I know do things the legal way. I doubt Maxxuss is in jail, because if Apple wanted to send him to jail, firstly it would have to be a case - which would most likely be at least a rumor or heard of since it would be a huge case of which the world of computer hackers would be holding their breaths for the outcome. Also, Apple would take advantage of this jailing or punishment, probably warning the thousands of other hackers who have contributed. Maxxuss - just wana know that we're here and waiting, whereever and whoever you are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_muad_dib Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 i just think that maybe something is changed in in the protection scheme and he/she's just waiting for a bigger update that contains more usefull additions to make his/her work a worth indeed, looking in apple changelogs there aren't much improvements so far so, i think maxxuss is just avoiding unusefull work and rest a bit trying to calm down all the annoying waterfall on his/her head maybe maxxuss will popup again around the 10.5 release anyway i hope the hacking god is still ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoy Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 People, we are still using the 10.4.4 kernel even on 10.4.5 and 4.6 updates because new kernels break ACPI and only support Core power management features. The last thing I heard from Maxxus was that he would try to put ACPI back in the new kernels, so that is what I'm guessing he's up to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
