  • Leopard successfully run on non-Apple hardware – Ever since Apple’s transition to Intel processors, a small contingent of users has been calling for the ability to run OS X on non-Apple Intel and AMD hardware. Apple hasn’t bowed to such a request just yet, and probably never will. Of course, Apple’s refusal hasn’t stopped some enterprising hackers from getting OS X running on non-Apple hardware.
  • How search engines rate on privacy – In the last few months, the search engine business has experienced its own version of cutthroat competition: a privacy policy war, with Google, Ask.com and Microsoft vying to outdo one another in protecting their users’ personal information.
