Mac OS X - on your PC, now!
See for yourself. Before your very eyes, a little piece of magic that turns a Mitac laptop PC into a PowerBook. OK. It's not actually a PowerBook. Not the PowerBook that Bleeding Edge dropped a small fortune on recently. It doesn't look as good. It doesn't have all the Mac bits and pieces. But it's running Mac OS X. It's MUUUCH cheaper. And it [AAARGH!!!] boots up faster.
The hack bypasses Apple's Trusted Platform Module chip, and all over the world, people have had it running on Dell laptops, and Gigabyte motherboards. John Dvorak sees it all as some fiendishly clever plan by Steve Jobs. Bleeding Edge, on the other hand, suspects that right now, Steve Jobs is despatching entire squads of lawyers.

Umm. That's a feature. You can turn it off, if you don't like it.

What's the "mac OC"? Isn't it a shame you can't turn spelling and grammar on and off easily? Oh wait, you can! Sounds to me like somebody doesn't know how to use any computer terribly well.
