Mac OS X "Ever since I got the eeePC I've loved how easy it is to tinker with. Since I'm not a Linux guy, I dumped the Xandros preload and opted for Windows XP so I could use my EVDO USB datacard and blogging software easier, but I wondered could I install OSX on it? And, after trial and error - you can! The only problem is that the eeePC only supports SSE2 instead of the SSE3 that Leopard is coded for. Kind of a bummer, and will require some extra tinkering to coax the OS on the eeePC."

In my opinion it is not responsible journalism to link to, and thereby condone, acting an illegal manner, especially from a site that is held in as high regard as this one is


It's not an "illegal manner" unless a court finds that it is - otherwise, the strongest accurate pejorative you use would be "acting in a manner that violates an EULA." Of course, it's already been pointed out numerous times that said EULA isn't even legally-valid in a large of part (most?) of the world. And even in the places where it's considered a valid contract, the actual legal-enforceability is pretty questionable.

would it be acceptable for links to be posted to a blog that detailed how to circumvent windows licence keys?


Not a valid comparison - that would be a clear-cut violation of copyright law. A more comparable situation would be if someone posted instructions for (E.g.) using a VM to run a version of Vista which doesn't "allow" that usage in the EULA.
