    Hey Gizmodo, when you guys finally get a chance to review this thing, could you see how well it handles remote desktop? I'd love to run a beefy windows server and have this thing remote desktop to run the more beefy software (games and stuff) on my big screen. #eeekeyboard2010

    I said this before, and I'll say it again: whose bright idea was it to put the POWER key right next to the delete key?! That's just frustration waiting to happen.... #eeekeyboard2010

    I am sure that Apple actually likes the Hackintosh minis - I mean, who does it? Fanboys, enthusiasts and those too broke to buy a real Mac. Well the first two groups probably already own real Macs, and the third will buy real Macs when they grow up and get a job. #netbooks

    @MarcusMaximus: Sure, but a netbook, even with OSX, is still a pretty limited thing - if you own one, you probably own a desktop too, and likely it's a Mac, since you're in that ecosystem. #netbooks

    In reply to OS X 10.6.2 Does Not Ditch Atom Support, Hackintosh Safe
    I don't believe Apple would resort to crippling support for the Atom for a couple of possible reasons:

    -They have a close relationship with Intel. While Apple is notorious for playing roughly with others, I don't believe that they would want to be at odds with Intel over something like the Atom, or even general artificial discrimination of their OS towards a number of their products.

    -They might actually use an improved version of the Atom one day. Though most speculate that Apple will never bother, it sounds like a pretty unreasonable bridge to burn.

    @ploopsy: If apple released an OSX compatible with non-apple hardware, they would be in trouble, since people would prefer to buy an less expensive machine. And it would also break the "just works" mantra, since the OSX will have to be compatible with many 3rd party hardware.

    @SewerShark: LOOK BEHIND YOU, A THREE HEADED MONKEY!!!: Even if they limited the types of 3rd party hardware that will work and charged 300$ for the OS it would still sell and they could afford to support it.

    Sucks that we cant have an apple netbook and we have to go with what they dictate. #snowleopardatomsupporthackintoshnetbook...

    In reply to Is Apple Trying to Kill Hackintosh Netbooks? OS X 10.6.2 Ditches Atom CPU Support
    Preliminarily it certainly looks like the Atom won't work, but it's just speculation until the release is in the wild.

    As mentioned, the kernel for OSX is open and replaceable. Should Apple make technical changes to the OS that disable the Atom, a work-around is possible.

    Apple likely won't pull "all" support for the chipset, because the GMA 950 is used in 2006 Mac Minis and MacBooks.

    As anybody who has a hackintosh (myself included) knows, you never EVER just allow the machine to update without checking the forums to ensure that the update is "safe". And then waiting awhile, anyways.

    It's just a part of life off the Apple grid. :-D
