Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Rumours are circulating that the forthcoming Mac OS X 10.6.2 update will prevent the use of Apple's operating system on hardware based on Intel's Atom processors.
While the use of Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware is forbidden by the licence agreement (something that's being tested by Apple's court case against Psystar), a fair number of enthusiasts have installed Mac OS X on netbooks.
The Dell Mini 10v has been a popular choice for this exercise.
But it seems that among other changes, 10.6.2 takes a closer look at which CPU is installed, and as a result the updated OS won't run on an Atom. Whether this is a deliberate plan or an example of collateral damage remains to be seen.
There are already suggestions that it might be possible to come up with a modified or custom kernel to keep Mac OS X running on Atom netbooks (another strategy would be to stick with 10.6.1), but the additional effort involved is likely to discourage at least some potential 'Hackintosh' users.
