Crapple on Apple

Apple’s lawyers have gotten all DMCA on the OSx86 Project, a gaggle o’ geek that’s been working on porting Mac OS X to Intel-based PCs. The project’s forums have gone dark as the hosts figure out what info runs afowl of Apple’s IP. Sounds like somebody’s legal team needs to go hunting with the VP.

BTW: On the OSx86 Project’s blog page, on Tuesday, a hacker sent a secret message from Apple he had discovered encrypted within the innards of OS X:

Your karma check for today:
There once was a user that whined
his existing OS was so blind,
he’d do better to pirate
an OS that ran great
but found his hardware declined.
Please don’t steal Mac OS!
Really, that’s way uncool.

Apple, we think our karma ran over your dogma.
