Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
"I want to build my own DVR box and hack it to run TiVo software." Sorry, you can't do that. Go buy a friggin' TiVo.
"I want to build my own game console and hack it to run PS3 software." Sorry, you can't do that. Go buy a friggin' PS3.
"I want to build my own PC and hack it to run OS X." Sorry, you can't do that. Go buy a friggin' Apple.
"I want to build my own PC and load Windows." Uhhh, okay.
Does anyone see why, or is everyone else idiots? MICROSOFT DOESN'T MAKE PCs!!! MICROSOFT IS A SOFTWARE COMPANY!!! TiVo, Sony, and Apple all have the right to protect against unauthorized use of their software, which was designed exclusively to work in conjuction with their bread and butter, their HARDWARE. Use on anything other than their own hardware hurts their bottom line, which gives them every right to pursue companies which enable users to circumvent their EULA.
