MacTel hacks and Google library woes.

A couple of interesting links off Wired News.

Firstly Wired News: Google’s Book Scanning Hits Snag comments on the problems Google is having convincing the existing publishing community its digital library attempt is a good thing. Really, what did they expect would happen?

And secondly Wired News: Mac Hacks Allow OS X on PCs talks about the version of Mac OSX that runs on the new Intel Mac is able to be hacked to run on non-Apple Intel hardware. Can’t see it happening soon but if Apple released a version of Tiger for generic Intel systems I’d buy and install it on our Acer P4 system in a flash.
