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
I have a couple of PC's I'd like to try this on however I'm not sure about how comfortable I feel handing over credit card info to these guys... #yeppsystarsrebelefiworksturnyourpcintoam...50
@Mozoltov, motherfucker: I would expect so since it's the same instruction set. The only difference is the single core. #yeppsystarsrebelefiworksturnyourpcintoam...50
@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

whatever side of the argument you're on, i think we can all agree that Psystar has balls of galactic proportions. #yeppsystarsrebelefiworksturnyourpcintoam...50
please don't pay for something that is stealing from a community, That installer is just as easy if not more so! and you will be helping the real developers. #yeppsystarsrebelefiworksturnyourpcintoam...50
yeah Stupid GIZMODO posting crap about a shady company without doing the proper research on original software authors ....
I'd never expect this from Giz, ..engadget, yes, definitely, but not Giz #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
Well said. Psystar is ripping those guys off, and need to be curbstomped for doing so. Needless to say, I'm a bit disappointed to see Giz giving these guys attention. #yeppsystarsrebelefiworksturnyourpcintoam...50
@d_r_e: I think it's funny that people are mad that Psystar is "stealing" from the community, but doesn't care about the theft from Apple. Code amongst thieves? #yeppsystarsrebelefiworksturnyourpcintoam...50
No need to feel sorry Danny, it just sucks that these guys are charging money for what is essentially someone else's work that was originally put out there for free. #yeppsystarsrebelefiworksturnyourpcintoam...50
@Danny Allen: Danny, Danny. See, this is why Gizmodo will never become a major media conglomerate. You guys need to take a page from Fox or CNN and only report on the news that you agree with. #yeppsystarsrebelefiworksturnyourpcintoam...50
@Danny Allen: Well, shame on you for trying to report the news. You should be ashamed of yourselves! I would expect that from CNN, but not you Gizmodo. You're taking the real news away from those who created it.
@Danny Allen: Pystar offering this software is newsworthy, but if indeed they stole their software from a someone who's offering it for free, that is equally newsworthy, perhaps more so. #yeppsystarsrebelefiworksturnyourpcintoam...50
Damn it, Wheres the AMD support?? This rules!! please Psystar do some 64-bit AMD support...Hackintosh has been stumping me for weeks and I gave up! Asus M378N Pro 64-bit Phenom II X4 (anyone have any ideas on a semi-simple hackintosh for this board?)? #yeppsystarsrebelefiworksturnyourpcintoam...50
look at the link i posted! it can do AMD for the most part! please guys don't support pystar, support the real guys!!! #yeppsystarsrebelefiworksturnyourpcintoam...50
@fleebailey33: Thank You fleebailey33. I really don't understand what I need to do here though. Do I burn the files to a disc to boot, then swap out with my SL install at some time or???? any help is appreciated greatly!! Not asking for a tutorial, just not too clear in the read me as to what you do is all.

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
