Apple embeds poem in Mac OS
Text of a poem that’s embedded in the new version of MacOS which runs on Intel chips. Apple today confirmed that it was put there to prevent piracy (or at least make those that pirate their software think twice.) There once was a user that whined his existing OS was so blind he’d do better…
