—
Macumpc I should probably start out by clarifying what I’m doing . Or rather: what I’m not doing. I don’t intend to create a step-by-step guide on how to install Mac OS X on a Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium. I also won’t be running the OS on the device for long. I simply want to get a feel for what it ...

Word has surfaced that the current beta build (10C535) of 10.6.2 has regained support for Atom ...

It simply required too much tweaking to use on a full time basis for me — not to mention that pesky licensing issue. ...
