| The hack will most likely be disabled when the final builds of the intel OS is finished. Even after that, Apple will most likely disable almost all future hacks with system upgrades. |

| Fundamentally, they can't stop you - as long as Darwin is open source, the part of the OS that communicates with the DRM hardware (evil. Eeeevil) can be replaced. That's the whole point of open source software - freedom of choice. Apple can't have it both ways - either their core OS is open source, or their customers lack freedom of choice. Can't have both. Anyway, even with a closed-source OS, DRM can always be circumvented. Always - it's just not a winnable fight. Read some cryptography texts if you want a thorough grounding on just why that's so.

| Remember that the x86 boxen in that benchmark were probably running Windows. Let's see those benchmarks again when x86 is running OS X. Plus, remember that what you've displayed is Apple's benchmark(eting). Check Bare Feats for more impartial benchmarks.

| Or just forget about benchmarks that compare Apple and citrons altogether. Because most often, they test things you never actually do on your computer.

Shame though, since Linux could benefit greatly from the Broadcom, nVidia and ATI drivers if they were made available under Darwin. |
