Really, quite old news. This was reported on right after it happened. If I remember right though, Gabe claimed that they had succeeded in tricking the hacker. They did speak with him on the phone
Yeah, and apple leaves people in the dust with their arbitrary cutoffs every OS update (800mhz bad, 867mhz ok!) Good luck getting a cpu upgrade for your macbook or imac g4, time to buy a new machine!
And guess what? that is ok, just like what ms does is ok. The latest software needs newer hardware. if you can't afford it, tough. If you don't need it, why do you even care?
