#ihack 01 hackintosh, the OSX experience

The OSX is basically a graphic user interface that was bulit by the Apple inc for their many variant of product (laptops and desktop) namely the mac family computers, imac and macbook. the first time i get to experience the OSX is from my freind's laptop an MBA (macbook air) it was nice, clean, slick. At the first glance, my "anti fanboys" senses somehow reject some of the great feature it has. One of the most silly and farmost reason why my freind bough an MBA is how you can shake the desktop wallpaper by a "gesture" hands movement. I came up with come-back "so you bought a $1000 dollar machine just to play around??" to think again isn't that what its for? the MBA comes in a very light weight model, weighing just over a kilo. So it always been the price that bothers me.

The OSX is a series of operational system which comes in the denomination of 10, thus X is the roman for ten. the OSX was released in the 1999 started with the "cheetah" (10.0). you can googled it down and you can see a series of the OSX development was then done up until (10.9) known as the maverick. now actually the OSX has a series of a big cat names for their version, the mavericks however only partly sold in the California area. The most famous OSX version is the snow leopard (10.6) and the mountain lion (10.8).

As a non-apple user is kinda unfamiliar with these changes, especially the difference between each and every version of the OSX but what i learn the distintive one is between the "Snow Leopard" and the "Mountain Lion" the snow leopard is one of the key development in the OSX, from the experience point view that most of I got is that it has much more stable and faster ability. Now the the "Snow Leopard" also comes with update version. and latest one is the 10.6.8. i am not recomending to get the latest version but some opinion comes that even that has ups and downs but i will explain later in my next post.

the hackintosh is a slang used to describe an activity of hacking OSX to be then installed in a regular PC which is a non-apple product. the reason why is uncertain, but if asked they ussualy answerd mostly because of the fan-boys war between PC and mac user in the abilyt to conquer comptuer language to then manipulate their nemesis coding system. the firsta attempt was done by the apple fanboys showing how powerfull the apple harware was by installing windows in their mac. as a strike back the most impossible, an OSX installation on PC.

over all, its kinda of a challenge and I am not expecting u guys to install hackintosh, but please experience the OSX first, then u decide. Thanks for reading!
