]]> Snow Leopard.Developer builds- who can trust ’em? You may have seen this coming, but the newest most recent build of Snow Leopard, version 10.6.2, restores support for Intel’s Atom CPU. Yes, that means your hackintosh is safe if you’ve made the 64-bit upgrade.

As to reasons for the flip-flop, there’s still no word from Apple. That likely means it was a bug, or an unintended consequence of some other change to the system. As such, I’d like to officially recant all those things I said about Apple going after the hacking community in light of a tablet release. It just ain’t happening, folks. Carry on.

]]> Hackintosh Dell mini.Nothing’s official just yet, but the latest Snow Leopard developer build, version 10.6.2, does away with Atom CPU support. It’s not a big deal to the average Mac user, but for anyone who has put the hours of dedication and frustration into making a Hackintosh, it’s a huge deal. It would effectively kill Snow Leopard for the little lappies, at least until someone can find a workaround.

For the few among us running OS X on a Dell Mini or other such devices, you’re going to be stuck on 10.6.1 if you made the upgrade work. It has to make you wonder, though, if Apple isn’t targeting the tiny community ahead of the tablet release to encourage a few more purchases. Then again, the community is so small and the anticipation of an Apple tablet so great that it’s hard to imagine that to be the case.
