Installing an SSD will alleviate all those sluggish problems. Keep in mind they still cost $1.50-2/GB, although the performance is definitely worth it.

You've obviously never used Mac OS 9.
Put the Snow Leopard disc in, press down and select "Boot Verbose", and post a picture of the screen that it freezes on. That should tell you what's causing it to freak out.
VOTE: iBooks Store
It should be noted that Bowtie is not a skin or modification of the standard iTunes.app Mini Player, but rather a seperate application that receives data from iTunes and mimics the functionalities of the it. As such, it can do many things the iTunes Mini Player cannot, like locking it to the Desktop, floating above…
I know they're talking about beating humans, but a drunk 4 year old child could beat Civilizations' shitty AI, while negotiating a research agreement with it at the same time.
Thinking about setting up a projector-based home theater in the basement. A few questions though:
Apple's official stance on hackintosh's is known. According to the Software License Agreement (here, PDF): […]you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at a time.

CAPTION CONTEST!
Do want for Google Reader.
To each his own I guess, but to me that just seems like a waste of a very good operating system, to use a web browser for everything. Why not just use a ChromeBook.
By bugginess and hassle, you mean the 15 minutes it takes every 3 or so months when Apple releases an update?
Are you serious? You cannot possibly be serious.
I'm also talking about software in general. That's why I ask about people's killer Windows apps, as there typically aren't any besides Chrome or Firefox. Mac users tend to have several fantastic apps they use every day, whereas every Windows user I've seen, besides utilities and Word, do everything, and I mean…
You use Safari for WIndows?
As the guide says, WiFi cards are hit-or-miss. I was lucky enough to have my Dell PCI-E card work flawlessly, but you can't go wring with USB components on a hackintosh.
This also has much better specs. If you're comfortable with the innards of a PC, or the performance really matters to you (which 90% of the people here, it won't), this is an attractive alternative. You learn a lot about Macs and PCs in the process too. And it's fun.
