Advanced binary analysis of CherryOS: proof of theft

It's strange to have gone from years of uncertainty and vaporware to a steady annual supply of major new operating system releases from Apple. But some important questions quickly follow. Do I really want to pay $129 every year for the next version of Mac OS X? Worse, do I really want to deal with the inevitable upgrade hassles and 10.x.0 release bugs every single year?

"Many of the important bioinformatics applications that previously existed only for Unix platforms are now being brought over to the Macintosh, thanks to Mac OS X and its Unix underpinnings."

One of many reasons why I want a Mac OSX system. I know this article is old...but as it is new and relevant to me, I thought I would meme it:)

Unix guru Moshe Bar loves his titanium G4 PowerBook (even though he skimped on the RAM). Who settles for 512 MB when you can have 1 GB?

Flirting With Mac OS X

Crack the case open and out pops the heart and soul of a monster that is far from a G4. Duck took extra care to keep all the cables tucked away or neatly loomed. What you can't see in these pics is the "refrigerator light" that was installed. You know, so when you are at the darkly lit LAN and you need to pop your box open to do a bit of work. The Rotten Apple has two white cold cathodes that come on when the door is opened to guide you on your way...no flashlight required.

Fresh on the heels of the DIY G4 meme, here's one from HardOCP about converting G4's to the dark side... MWUHAHAH!!!
