No, Steve Ballmer didn't automatically pick up the MacBook and go into a furious rage when he was asked to sign a MacBook Pro for a fan. Surprisingly, he smiles, grabs a pen, and calmly signs the laptop.

In addition, you can see all of your notes in outline form and jump to their locations, making this a great tool for marking up PDFs. Your notes are saved in the PDF but will only be read by Skim, meaning you can get a clean version back at any time by just opening the file with Preview. Skim is free, requires Mac OS X."

"how to build a PC that runs OS X, aka, a Hackintosh. So we asked our friend Colleen aka Digital Kitty, aka TWiT's Technical Project Manager to give us the step by step how to install a legal copy of OS X on a PC.

The heart of this build is an EFi-X V1 Boot Processing Unit and a full retail install version of OS X. US residents can purchase an EFi-X BPU from eXpressHD.com for $240. Cheap? No. But it does wonders with bootloading -and- allows to update OS X!

What's the big attraction to a Hackintosh? More build options than Apple gives you, and spending lots less on hardware."
