Realtek's Wireless Driver Drives Thoughts of an Apple Netbook 136

Slatterz writes "With Macworld 2009 mere weeks away, one rumour that seemingly won't die is the idea of a Mac OS X Netbook PC. Asking a company to provide OS X drivers for their netbooks has, up until now, been met with silence, and probably a little quaking on the vendor side as they wait for the heavy footsteps of Apple's army of lawyers. It seems, however, that Realtek, who provide the WiFi chip found in the MSI Wind U100, are dipping their toes into the legally iffy world of the Hackintosh. Forum users at MSIWind.Net asked politely for drivers, and after a lot of patience, Beta drivers were provided."

I trust the people in the business I work at. 7 people in all. I leave my laptop on a desk in the office area or on my toolbox during the day. The thing I think about sometimes, is the people that are walking through off the street. The doors to the office are left open to the hallway which is shared by three business. The office can be empty for an hour at lunch or other times. If I'm not using the laptop I just put it in a cabinet. I could understand the posters concerns being appropriate if the cubicle area is semi-public. My suggestion would be a cabinet with a locking top, cut a u-channel for the attaching cables and perforate the back for ventilation. Open the top and guide your cables into the channel and then lock the top.
