Default OSx86 cracked again

The OSx86 Project is reporting that the intrepid hacker 'Maxxuss' has once again eluded Apple's security methods and cracked the latest release of Mac OS X for Intel, or 'OSx86', to run on standard x86 PCs. It seems Apple just can't win this eternal struggle with the hackers, as 10.4.4 included beefed up security designed to prevent similar hacking methods used on beta releases of the operating system. Is this a blessing for Apple, or simply a nuisance.

How could it be a blessing?

Interesting though, you would think that some people have a life...at least a little bit of one, but apparantly not.

well, if maxxuss doesnt have a life, then neither is the guy who cracked the dvd content scrambling system. i think anyone who makes break through cracks is a great person, and more people out there should be like that.

cracking DRM is the first step to destroying it completely.
