Yes, I stole this wholesale from the post itself, but I couldn’t get it any better. The guy who cracked Mac OS X for Intel discovered yet another little tidbit. By using the decryption discovered during cracking.
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.

Now, I think that’s pretty funny. However, the clever(?) rebuttal poem, is not.
Rime of the Ancient Hacker
There once was a hacker named Maxxuss
who Steve did not think was a genius.
But Steve pondered awhile,
grabbed the phone with a smile,
and said “Bill, there’s a thing to discuss…”
Certainly, cracking Mac OS X so it can run any machine, showing that licensing it for generic PC hardware will cause rampant software piracy that won’t be offset by hardware sales is a brilliant way to convince Apple to completely change its business model. Right…
