    I'm really surprised that so many people actually bought into this idea. Honest question to those who bought the Rebel EFI: did you try any other method of Hackintoshing before purchasing this? #rebelefi

    If you were smart you'd take one of two routes:

    1: Pirate the RebelEFI software or a Mac OS 'installer' disk like iATKOS.
    2: Buy a cheap netbook and Hackintosh it with pirated software. #rebelefi

    @Xeno:
    Incorrect- Core Duo is a Yonah aka dual core PentiumM (Dothan).

    Core2Duo is a completely different architecture. There are also different extensions (ala SSE3) supported by Core2Duo and later CPUs that aren't by Core Duo.

    Please dont encourage this kind of action gizmodo. All it will do is stifle innovation. Money funds research, research makes innovations, then the innovations make the company's funds. Apples business model involves the hardware paying for the software. This is a common strategy. Ex. Palm Pre's Web OS, Blackberry OS, Wii OS, PS3's OS, Xbox's OS, the ZuneHD, Symbian, etc. You are sadly mistaken if you think that the $29 for snow leopard even marginally covers the cost of creation. Companies arent going to be investing in software production if they have to give away their software to their competitors. #yeppsystarsrebelefiworksturnyourpcintoam...50

    @wutlulzky: i agree, horibble on gizmodos part, also as far as not needing a mac, there are ways to do it without a mac, they just copied the idea of the boot 132 method, just like if people remember the dell mini 9 method, this is very similar,

    They do nothing new!! #yeppsystarsrebelefiworksturnyourpcintoam...50
