May 18, 2017  If appear to be struggling to determine whether your Mac has been hacked, when you have full and complete physical and program access to it. ANY message that you see in email or on the Internet, that tells you your Mac is infected with something is a Blatant LIE. No one can tell that from outside your computer. Hackintosh.com links to everything you need to build a Hackintosh and get macOS Catalina (10.15) as well as many earlier versions of Mac OS X running on an unsupported computer - instructions, step-by-step 'how to' guides, and tutorials - in addition to installation videos, lists of compatible computers and parts, and communities for support. For Mac specs, prices, answers, side-by-side Mac.

Apple computers will be moving away from Intel chips to its own ARM-based design. An interesting thing about Apple as a company is that it has never felt the need to tie itself to a particular system architecture or ISA. Whereas a company like Microsoft mostly tied its fortunes to Intel’s x86 architecture, and IBM, Sun, HP and other giants preferred vertical integration, Apple is currently moving towards its fifth system architecture for its computers since the company was formed.

What makes this latest change possibly unique, however, is that instead of Apple relying on an external supplier for CPUs and peripheral ICs, they are now targeting a vertical integration approach. Although the ARM ISA is licensed to Apple by Arm Holdings, the ‘Apple Silicon’ design that is used in Apple’s ARM processors is their own, produced by Apple’s own engineers and produced by foundries at the behest of Apple.

In this article I would like to take a look back at Apple’s architectural decisions over the decades and how they made Apple’s move towards vertical integration practically a certainty.
