Hackintosh patch allows OS X on netbooks again
Nov 20th
With the recent update from Apple for Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard, it prevented netbooks from running the Operating System. Users with hackintosh netbooks were advised to not update in order to continue running Snow Leopard. Thankfully a patch has now been released allowing hackintosh users to update their machines. The patch has been posted over at the InsanelyMac forums and has been tested over the past week and confirmed working. MacObserver also note, that when an update is released from Apple, it’s wise not to upgrade immediately but, rather wait for a patch to come out.

Hackintosh patch allows OS X on netbooks again
It’s Official, No More Hackintosh Netbook
Nov 11th
Rumors that Apple is about to cripple the latest build of the Mac OS X rendering it useless for netbooks started last month. And a couple of days ago, Apple release the latest update for Snow Leopard. Guess what? It has been confirmed that the said version of Snow Leopard will no longer run on Atom-powered netbooks.
So if you currently have a Hackintosh netbook as you read this post, better not upgrade to the latest Snow Leopard anymore and enjoy your netbook while it last. Or perhaps you might want to wait for the latest build. Who knows, Apple might forget about disabling this feature.
You’re best to having a Hackintosh netbook then is to get those 12-inch laptops that don’t run on Intel Atom anymore. Or bettery yet, why don’t you get a MacBook instead?

How OS X 10.6.2 wrecks with your Hackintosh mojo
Nov 10th
So it was rumored that Macintosh OS X 10.6.2 may not be compatible with our little netbooks. We’ve all crossed our fingers and hoped that we all get to play around with OS X in our netbooks after 10.6.2 comes out.
Guess what, 10.6.2, as expected, broke Intel Atom support.
So if you still are going to go ahead in run 10.6.2 on your intrepid netbooks, please be aware that your Eee PC may go into an infinite booting loop, like in the video below:
Am I alone in thinking that sooner or later, a hacker will be able to crack 10.6.2 and restore Atom support?
