Interesting... Mac OX for Intel hacked to run on PCs...

Interesting article I found here: http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,68501,00.html Hackers have taken an illegal copy of OS X for Intel and bypassed the limitation to run only on Apple-manufactured systems. They've got OS X running on Dells, etc. and supposedly running faster than OS X will run on...

They're not both iLoks are they? I just consolidated my licenses onto one iLok which is more convenient. It's pretty easy to do on iLok.com.

General Dust Control -- HEPA filter or other ideas?

I've got an issue with dust in my studio...getting on the mixing board, etc. I once bought some HEPA filter by Honeywell and left it running and it seemed to do squat. I even thought maybe it was faulty. It did nothing. Does anyone have any recommendations on some sort of filtration system one can p...
