Apple nixes Atom-based Hackintoshes

Did you install Apple OS X on a lowly Intel Atom-based netbook? Proud of your tech-fu?

If you answered yes, then be sure to skip the next Snow Leopard update from Apple. According to reports, Mac OS X Leopard 10.6.2 is incompatible with Intel’s netbook powerhouse, the Atom processor, delivering a blow to folks that want to (unofficially) rock some ultra-portable OS X computing and keep current with the latest OS updates.
