Those kids should apply their talent to selling Linux boxes. One has to figure that they have the skills to write software for Linux to make it more Mac-like.

They didn’t use any real talent for programming. They just used existing hacks that allow OSX to run on generic hardware. Psystar couldn’t even create a way for users to apply system updates or reinstall the OS if anything happened to the hard drive.

The people who wrote the hacks were annoyed that these guys were selling their software even though it was licensed as free software.

If someone wants to build a hackintosh, they should buy a copy of Leopard, then install the hacks themselves. It’s surprisingly straightforward these days.
