Sources indicate that OSx86 10.4.3 - which contains increased hardware restrictions - has now been cracked in the same fashion as 10.4.1. It was initially thought that these restrictions would slow the progress of hackers, but it appears that it has done little to deter those tackling the challenge. It appears that "Maxxuss" has outdone Apple yet again.

See, anyone who does not like "designed" stuff has a hard time understanding this. You masturbate over "raw performance" , I care something else...
Such as.... phsychological transference and self-congratulation? Let me guess, do you also own lots of Bose audio hardware?
Yes, you are a kid.
And you're free to assume whatever you want, as I'm not in the habbit of disabusing people of those sorts of presuppositions.
See, I guess, most of this boils down to personal preferences. Which is completely okay. THe problem is, calling people "gay", "Social status maniacs" "idiots"...
...or trying to affect an attitude of superiority based on the purchase of a assembly-line manufactured computer made by one specific multinational corporation?
You always look things in 1D right?
Hrm, let me look over at my Treo 650, Thinkpad x30, linotype-hell scanner, or Norco CRD2... yep, I guess must just be a price/specs-obsessed dollar store philistine.
UNfortunately, most of the geeks are full of anger to these type of people, beacuse somehow they keep banging the best babes... (Guess why?)
That's an odd coincidence, because I've noticed that most wannabe-elitsts are filled with insecurity and the need to constantly try to convince others (read: themselves) that buying more expensive toys somehow makes them more savvy consumers.
For the record, I think that both extremes of the argument are laughably facile - and usually come from people too narrow-minded and myopic to realize that their choices and preferences aren't universally-applicable to everyone.
"People only buy PCs because they're cheap philistines without any taste!" "People only buy Macs because they have too much money to spend on pretty cases!"
Hell, I think Windows is ridiculously over-engineered for most typical computer users - and I usually suggest Macs to those I think are more interested in being computer users than Windows system administrators. But to argue that Macs are not more expensive than PCs of comparable specs (latest/greatest PMacs excepted) takes some real sophist gymnastics.

Yes, my friend. Design, attention to details. In cars, if you check the magazines, they do actually measure the gaps between chassis parts, the plastic type of the buttons on the console and so fort.. Overall, qualilty engineering and attention to details come up with a way more better experience...
As I said before, not everyone appreciates these factos, but people who appreciate it, are ready to pay premium (or in some other cases, rather than buying a 2005 Kia, same person would go for 1998 BMW for the same money)...

See, anyone who does not like "designed" stuff has a hard time understanding this. You masturbate over "raw performance" , I care something else... And "social status" thing is just soo childish...

Yes, you are a kid.

You always look things in 1D right? "Components"... It is not only the pieces that matter, but the way they are put together... Every single car has 4 tires (and most of the brands share same brand of tires), but at the end, one has M5 engine on it, the other has 4Cylinder 100 HP.

It is sad. But someone had to say it...
