As some of you may know Mac OS X operating system does not actually require an Apple computer. Even though Apple tries to protect its precious OS from spreading to generic PCs, we’ve seen couple of how-tos and tutorials on bypassing the price tag of an Apple-branded computer.
To make it a more commonly known fact, Wired released a video tutorial on installing Mac OS X on a netbook in December. Not as a surprise to those who have heard about Apple’s confrontations against a company called Psystar, Wired didn’t get to spread the word for long. Apple requested the removal of the video from Wired’s Gadget Lab yesterday.
The video — and text — tutorial features step-by-step instructions on how to download a copy of OS X Leopard from The Pirate Bay and install it into your MSI Wind netbook.
Apple didn’t file a lawsuit and apparently they didn’t want to do anything else about it either because Wired still hosts the text version of the hack — including the link to TPB for OS X download. Obviously the video wasn’t removed from the Internet either and you can still watch it on Gizmodo.
Result for: hosts
According to TorrentFreak, the Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN has gone after a number of torrent sites including the large Bulgarian tracker RARBG which had over 100,000 users.
ArenaBG and many other large sites have been taken down as well. It appears that the police and BREIN are aiming to take down Bulgarian trackers, and working to identify the administrators of the site.
Once their identities were found out, each was asked to a meeting where they were told that their sites needed to be shut down. If they were not shutdown, the police would physically take the servers.
ArenaBG, P2PBG, MastersTB and AvatarBG are all either shutdown or moving on to new hosts.
Torrent-BG, WordBG, and Zarta.org are all shutting down as well.
