Apple has a history of spoiling hackers’ fun. In fact, they’ve almost made a business model out of it. But hackers won’t be kept down, and a little netbook running OS X is too tempting a gadget to give up on. So when Apple nixed Atom support in an recent update (strictly out of spite), the coders set to work. And in typical fashion, a short time later a solution is released. It’s pretty rough, but in another week there should be a more user-friendly tool.

As usual, the above figure applies.
