Steve Jobs 1955 – 2011

Chuck — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:39:40 +0000

Rest in Peace Steve. We will miss you.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. – Steve Jobs

Building a Hackintosh is as easy as 1,3,2

OSNews posted a good article on how to build your own Hackintosh. They provide a complete list of hardware and a step by step how to on getting it up and running.

The most well-known way of setting up a Hackintosh is to download a hacked Mac OS X Leopard image, burn it to a disk, and go from there. This method, while easy, has several disadvantages. First of all, if you’re in the United States, or another country with DMCA-like laws, this hacking can actually be against the law, and as such, it might not be a wise thing to do. Secondly, using such hacked Mac OS X images means that updates from Apple, such as the latest Leopard 10.5.7 update, will definitely ruin your system.

Check out the guide and build your own Hackintosh.
