Wired device lab has taken down a video made by [Brian X. Chen] in which he provides a short summary as well as presentation of exactly how to set up OSX on an MSI Wind netbook. This obviously didn’t sit well with Apple, who contacted Wired as well as complained; Wired agreed as well as eliminated the video. Frankly, we’re dissatisfied with Wired’s response. While they were technically publishing material which is doubtful at best—in the video, Brian mentions that this is unlawful as well as that it would be a great concept to have a retail copy of OSX on hand, however then goes on to point out that you can likewise download the hacked operating system off The Pirate Bay, Isohunt, etc—the video in as well as of itself wasn’t illegal, as well as therefore Wired comes off as vulnerable to what amounts to bullying by Apple. We’re all about imagination as well as innovation, as well as stifling that ingenious spirit has never worked well in the long run.
Fortunately, if you’re feeling like you’ve missed out on the video, don’t despair: Gizmodo has published the video on their site for you to view as well as enjoy.
