Apple's Reverse Hacking Didn't Kill the Hackintosh
The conspiracy theorists are crying foul over Apple's alleged hacking of the few who have managed to turn their netbooks into a "Hackintosh."
Apple's latest update for its Snow Leopard operating system killed the Intel Atom processors of clever hackers who rigged their netbooks with OSX.
Some surprised netbook lovers accused Apple of trying eliminate competition for its higher priced laptops or even setting the stage for its long anticipated netbook. Apple's alleged thinking: if you can't hack a $200 netbook to run OSX, you would shell a few hundred bucks more to buy an Apple tablet or even more than a $1,000 to own a MacBook.
