bonch writes "Contrary to previous reports, Atom chip support is working fine in the latest 10C535 build of OS X 10.6.2. Apple's EULA still states that OS X is licensed to run only on Apple hardware, but it looks like OSX86 hackers can breathe easy ... for now."

Goody! Now we can post another 500 messages arguing about whether EULAs should be enforceable or not. With luck, this time we can finally finish the argument and come to a conclusion that brings peace to all. I hope Apple and Psystar are prepared to follow the decrees and rulings of the best minds of the Slashdot community.

So I went to the other thread, and searched for "+5 Comments".
--> Could not find text "+5 Comment"

Though, it was with Opera, maybe I need FireFox?

I did find a +5 Comment in this thread though: [slashdot.org]
Indeed, you must be new here. The correct response is to go to the previous story, copy and paste some +5 comments, and rake in the karma.

Conspiracy Theory: Atom will power new tablet (Score:3, Funny)

One specific development build of OSX didn't work properly on a completely unsupported platform, affecting perhaps tens of people nationwide. Subsequent builds did not exhibit this problem. News at 11.

I know MainStream Media pablum when I hear it... you guys are missing the real story: Apple broke Atom support to make it less likely that people would suspect their new Tablet will be running... an Atom! These guys are geniuses, that's for sure!!! (or I'm off my medication again).

Linux is too mainstream to be man. Try OpenSolaris.
