HOW TO: Convert a Mac into an x86 296
inventgeek writes "With the recent announcements Apple
has made regarding its operating environment, Inventgeek.com
has a mod that seems rather fitting. They have converted a Mac
G3 to an Intel P4 System capable of running Windows or Linux. Full how to
is available on there site for those brave enough to bask in what many say could
be Apples greatest folly, and a
blow to Linux." Update: 06/08 17:53 GMT by T : A few further Mac-OS-X-on-Intel notes, about the new Intel development kit from Apple: Readers jimboman78 and shooflot sent in, respectively, links to (mostly positive) comments on the front page of Accelerate Your Mac and a more skeptical but equally preliminary description at Think Secret.

Try selling a used Scientology e-meter on eBay. eBay won't let you do it. Scientology lawyers claim the hardware is copyrighted. eBay said, "Please don't sue us -- you got it, no sales."
To create law from the primal soup, you first establish precedents. We're well along the path to "licensed hardware use".
