Wired’s Brian Chen was smacked with a cease-and-desist not long ago for his video depicting how to turn your netbook into a hackintosh.
The video, which gave an exact step-by-step tutorial about how to put OS X onto a netbook, (with trips to The Pirate Bay included) has since been taken down off of Wired’s Tech Lab. However, you can still check it out over at Gizmodo, who’s sticking it to the man hasn’t run them into any evident danger as of yet.
Apple’s exact complaint about the video hasn’t been printed anywhere, so that is something that we might not ever get to find out, but what we do know is that the video is mighty thorough! And it only clocks in at about four minutes, so why not watch it?

What happens when you have a bunch of loyalist fanatics running around worshipping a man who is the brains behind one of the single handed mostsought after OS's that have an equally shiny case that can now run on Intels?
Answer: A Hackintosh.
C'mon. Seriously, at least say why you're so pissed about the guy making a netbook hackingtosh?
I mean, 1 gb of RAM, 80-160 gb hardrive, small 8-13 inch screens on an Intel running at 1.66 GHZ?
Seems like the specs for many netbooks but is actually the specs for many a macbook aswell. It was only time before this would happen.
I say put it back up on Wired.
