Run OS X on an X-box
Now I am officially upset that I sold my X-box when I bought my PSP. There's a thorough step by step for installing PearPC on an X-box so that you can run OS X on your X-Box. RUN OS X ON AN X-BOX! OMG!Now, it's not an easy process. You have to already have your X-Box modded with a chip (and most likely a much larger hard drive installed) and running Xebian Linux. If you have that set up, then it is a simple matter of downloading and compiling the necessary PearPC bits using gcc 2.95.4, along with a few drivers, and having an image of your OS X installation disk on hand. Piece of cake.
Oh, and in case you didn't already know: this will take forever and OS X will run more slowly than you could have ever imagined. Now, I wonder if this hack will work on the new X-Box 360s when they come out...

I dunno. I heard of a time when they did something so that OS X would run on a 68k chip. Thing took a week to start up.
