Mac OS X on x86 Videos Get Apple's Attention 758
RetrogradeMotion writes "The OSx86 Project is reporting that Apple has served a legal notice to MacBidouille, a French news site that posted videos and instructions on running Mac OS X on x86 hardware . You can find an English translation of the MacBidouille notice on the OSx86Project's forums. This is the first known legal action by Apple regarding the hacked version of OS X and calls into doubt the future of other news sites, similar to the OSx86 Project." Slashdot previously covered the story of hacking Mac OS X onto non-Apple hardware and followed up again a few days later.

That's correct. And if something were to happen during flight they could escape by using their iPods.

Cost of a Manual and a nice little box : 5 bucks
Retail cost of an OS: 139.99 - 299.99
profit margin: 1300-2900%
Confusing the difference between markup and margin - priceless.

Of course not. But if they choose to, they don't get to impose extra conditions.
because the moment you forked over the money you agreed to this condition.
The only thing implicit in handing over money is that I want to buy the thing. You don't get to make assumptions about whether or not the person agrees with your additional contract - if you want to do that, you need to present the contract, allow them to negiotate, and then explicitly ask if they clearly accept or not.
Oh, and this post may only be modded up - after all, the moment anyone chooses to moderate my post, they have clearly agreed to this condition...

But really, I've read a Finnish translation. I've only seen various quotations in English, but I thought I'd still have remembered quite a few of them. It seems that I was wrong.
I admit that this is rather inexcusable, though. Am I taken to room 101 now?
