Hey,
I want to write code to explicitly keep my application from running
on non-Apple branded Intel hardware. I've seen this done in several
other applications, and I was wondering what indicators other
developers usually look for to tell if an application is running on
some other vendor's hardware. Until Apple officially condones OS X on
non-Apple hardware I don't want to support users running pirated
copies of OS X, on hardware that Apple doesn't support. Along with
the ethical stuff, I also don't want to bother supporting systems
running a hacked kernel and oddball graphics drivers.
-Colin
