Apple confronts Wired over Mac OS X netbook hacking tutorial
A December video tutorial teaching viewers how to modify a netbook to run Mac OS X has landed tech magazine Wired in hot water with Apple's legal department.
Wired's Brian X. Chen posted a video podcast to the Gadget Lab blog on December 1st that demonstrated the installation of an "illegal, hacked version" of Mac OS X Leopard onto an MSI Wind netbook.
"I start out by telling you where to download the hacked operating system software," Chen wrote. "You'll also need to download and install a copy of OSX86 tools. Then I walk you through the steps of how to put the OS on a USB flash drive (at least 4GB) to copy it onto the netbook."
