Snow Leopard Hacked to Bring Back Atom Support

[wildwell]

Since all Apple changed was three lines of code, will they leave it at that or make more aggressive steps to lock out Atom processors in future OS updates?

Apple: It just works.*

[citation][nom]falchard[/nom]Man Mac's have so many back doors. How many days has it been since Apple patched out Atom only for it to get hacked back in this many days later?[/citation]
In OS X you have an option to encrypt your entire home folder. Try that with the Winblows, even their Ultimate overpriced edition does not offer that and if it did I bet the encryption used would have a built in back door for the FEDS.

Haha your comment is completely stupid! Try doing some research. VileFault defaults to unencrypted swap files in Tiger. Panther and below don't even have an option for encrypting swap. /System/Logs /var/log and /tmp are unencrypted. If encrypted swap is enabled then decrytion keys are written out in the header of /var/vm/sleepimage. VileFault doesn't even really offer AES-128 protection because it stores master password for VileFault recovery (/Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.keychain) with only 1024-RSA. Even if the master password is not set VileFault has other exploits that only require defeating 3DES-EDE. BitLocker on the other hand encrypts entire disks and offers actual AES-128. Ultimate does in fact include BitLocker. Of course I probably wouldn't pay for ultimate to get it but would use a free/open source one instead. Thanks for playing.

I had no experience with Mac OS, until last week I was given a Mac Mini which had blue-screen at the start-up. I discovered Mac OS was actually much more powerful than I thought, is got very powerful [Unix] command-line which allows you to modify/configure the xwindows in so many way.

My advice is to try out Hackintosh, you might well like it. http://iatkos.wikidot.com/
