Macs were never for hackers now iApple isn't - so what?
- cschep 17y agoA lot of hackers love their Macs.
- orangecat 17y agoMacs were never for hackers Sure they are. Macs are full Unix workstations that can also run Office and Photoshop, with a much better UI than Linux. The meme that Apple's computers are deliberately unfriendly to hackers has never been true, until the iPhone and iPad.
- olefoo 17y agoWait a second, a challenge, an obstacle, an opponent. This is not being unfriendly to hackers. This is like one of those cat toys with the wand and the feather at the end to a rambunctious kitten. In some respects it's the most hacker friendly device out there right now because of the bragging rights it creates.
- r0s 17y agoNon-standard hardware, that's all there is to say. I don't know anyone who upgrades, repairs or hacks macs. Any hackers I know that use macs don't really care about the unique mac features, usually they just want an oem *nix machine with approved hardware. This is a decent option for a second computer, or portable, when price isn't that much of a concern.
