Doktor Gummi Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 While you lot are yelling and screaming, you've passed over the weirdest part of the assertion: the idea that some APPLICATIONS "may" not work on a hackintosh. ...say what? once the OS is firing away, seems to me, everything else follows along pretty smoothly. In my case, the HP 4300 is sometimes smoother than my Mac Pro (though that needs a re-install...). I'd love to hear about the applications which refuse to run right (excepting those that want a custom hardware board of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbollinger Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 He could of been talking about some apps not working if QE/CI isn't enabled. I had some issues with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryke Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 So, basically this thread's title is just trolling. The Q&A @ PC Magazine was basically correct (other than the pic's caption) and the OP tried to make fun of something. Let the thread die, I'd say.

borisbadenov Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I am wondering if these magazines must say things like this for legal reasons. Even a recent article in Macworld called our little machines "frankenmacs". Although Macworld did say that a Hackintosh could beat a Mac in some speed tests, they pretty much refused to endorse such a machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie's Soliloquy Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Macformat had an article on hackintoshes a few months back; saying it WAS possible but inadvisable. They CAN acknowledge it but just not condone it, to my knowledge. However, other magazines clearly state that none of us exist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aylamrin Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Well who cares, let them in their own fools' paradise. There is a demand for every type of goods for every type of people. You may find people who would swear by PC mag. Reminds me of the other day when I found a grey market dealer, who thought the iPhone ran Symbian .

Daft_Punk Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 lolololol XD ! What a funny article mates... I would luv that laptop, i almost got it O.o ! I luv how they say: "Not Gonna Happen You can try, but you are unlikely to succeed in running Mac apps on a Windows PC." XD Dualboot ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detosx Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Not flaming the guy but the wide spread sentiment, I have frequently been told that I don't exist. A skeptic grubbed around on the floor trying to find the Mac that my Acer laptop's screen was plugged into, but he couldn't find it - because I had covered it with an invisibility cloak! He found my Mac Mini but I showed him that it wasn't powered up. He then insisted it was XP skinned to look like Leopard and decided to pick up the laptop and show me. He thought it was pathetic that I had renamed my Programs folder Applications! In the end I had to concede that I had been cunningly fooled by a combination of XP and Windowblinds. I showed him my Leopard retail DVD but before I could say anything he phoned a friend and casually said, Yeah, well, Apple have now made it easy to install on any PC, I just didn't know they had released it, I thought they were releasing it next week. He then tried to show me how easy it is to install from the Leopard retail DVD. Which was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnniecarcinogen Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Loyd Case was cool when you wanted to build a 486. Retire man. Keep writing columns about 'malware' Microsoftman (just because you cant learn another OS). Your kind is a dieing breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinMacLin Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I think this man is a genius like Einstien. I know that cause I have read a lot of articles written by him. He is a great thinker. Whatever he has written is true I think. If not, is there a single person beside the osx86 staff, in this community who have succeeded in installing os x on his/her PC to work as perfectly as it works in a Mac? If so then there is no project like osx86 otherwise whatever that man is saying is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
