Found Footage: Mac OS X on Apple TV

sorry friends no joke your a day late it wasn't released on April 1. And also if you knew anything about Osx86 you would know that the same person Semthex who gives us the osx kernel to run on non mac hardware was responsible for this to work

try a little research first before you discredit

if you need more let me know

Also did anyone notice that right after he plugs the HDMI cable in the screen goes black - the screen wouldn't detect the AppleTV unless there was power to the ATV - which he plugs the power cable in last!

Good job with it all guys! It was good!

Poll Sebastian: Remember that by UTC time, it was already April 1st for hours.

Has anyone noticed that the status light keeps blinking orange the entire time, rather than turning white? Could that be indicative of this being a joke, or maybe os x just doesn't know how to control that specific hardware feature?

Why would you want to do this?

Takes a while to show up on the DeLL screen because someone is hooking it up to another macintosh?

I smell something very fishy, it is April Fools Day.

All I want is to be able to run EyeTV and Frontrow "2.0" on an appleTV as a dvr for my dad. If somebody gets the apple tv ui running in OSX get it on the web PLEASE!!!!

LAUGH OUT LOUD!

If it's an April Fool's joke, it's a pretty good one, taking the form of what looks to be just a minor edit of an install, and running a custom mach kernel. If it turns out to be true, I'll order one.

@ Scott,

Both the AppleTV and Macs use EFI so getting Mac OS X to run on a Dell--which I've done--is much more involved than getting Apple's OS to run on Apple's Hardware.
