Apple has just released Mac OS X 10.5.5 Delta Update for Macs running 10.5.4, and 10.5.5 Combo Update if you are running 10.5, 10.5.1, 10.5.2, 10.5.3 or 10.5.4.
Now, you can just click Software Update on your Hackintosh just like you do on an ordinary Mac… if your Hackintosh has been installed with a Mac OS X Retail DVD with Boot-132 and Chameleon EFI that is. So you might ask, “What the hell are those?” Well, just read my other post “Hackintosh Tutorial: Install a Mac Leopard OS X Retail DVD on a PC”, and you will be on your way to your hackintosh nirvanah.

Update: If you’re looking for Mobileinstallation 2.2, read this post!
If you followed my tutorial “Download and Test iPhone Apps Before Buying From the App Store“, and then upgraded your iPhone to firmware 2.1, then, you need to perform the tutorial again using the patched MobileInstallation 2.1 file.

From iPhone firmware 2.0.1, I upgraded to 2.1 using iPhone Dev Team’s newly released PwnageTool 2.1 for Mac (Note: If this doesn’t work for you, you can try QuickPwn 1.1 for Mac). As I mentioned in my other post, I didn’t upgrade to 2.0.2 because there wasn’t anything exciting with it. But 2.1 is a different beast, and you must upgrade if you want to have a better relationship with your iPhone, 2G or 3G. More »
Eleven days before his 30th birthday, a bigger Manny Pacquiao will face a much bigger opponent that will make him a rare underdog in his 53rd professional fight spanning 13 years. In January 1995, while this obscure and skinny 17 year old Filipino was fighting his first professional match as a Light Flyweight (106 lbs), a 22 year old fast rising star from the opposite side of the globe has just successfully defended for the second time his WBO Lightweight Title (135 lbs) with a 9th round stoppage, bringing his professional record to 16-0 with 15 KOs. His name is Oscar De La Hoya. More »
The much talked about new ad from Microsoft has not yet reached our local networks (I doubt if it will even be shown here), but no thanks to the Internet, it made me watched a commercial intently quite a few times. The thing is, that ad doesn’t let you easily get the message and is open to a lot of interpretations. Many people think the Shoe Circus store is an Apple Store and Bill and Seinfeld subtly pokes fun at Apple products just like the Mac vs PC ads. I didn’t see it that way. In fact if there was any hint of making fun of Apple’s products it was really, really very subtle. More »
After building hackintosh machines using different modified OS X installers, the hackintosh community has come a long way and is within grasp of achieving the holy grail of running Mac OS X on PCs—installing the original, unmodified OS X DVDs created by Apple for Macs on ordinary IBM compatible personal computers. Well, almost.
While we can now use a retail Mac OS X DVD to turn our PC into a hackintosh, we still need a bootloader to get it to recognize and install OS X the first time. The good news is, after a successful installation, we can now install any updates from Apple without breaking our system or reinstall the operating system without having to add the same kexts (drivers) that we already have that makes our non-Mac standard hardware peripherals work.
