Comments(0) Apple confirmed Thursday it has included such a warning in its Intel-based computers since it started selling them in January.
The embedded poem reads: “Your karma check for today: There once was a user that whined / his existing OS was so blind / he’d do better to pirate / an OS that ran great / but found his hardware declined. / Please don’t steal Mac OS! / Really, that’s way uncool. / (C) Apple Computer, Inc.”
Apple also put in a separate hidden message, “Don’t Steal Mac OS X.kext,” in another spot for would-be hackers.
