Will we see OSX running on the IPAD?

I think that it is possible to imagine that apple will release a version of osx for the iPad and call the resulting device iPad plus or something like that

Devices with Windows 8 RT are going to priced directly against the iPad. While the Windows 8 RT devices have Windows on them, The iPad is still stuck with IOS, This alone make so much business sense for apple to port OSX to the iPad.

One of the primary complaints of the iPad is that it does not have multiple account support , This is solved with OSX

With the rumours that there is going to be  a IPad mini, Apple might decide to have the iPad mini run on IOS and the iPad 10" run OSX


Apple brought PA Semi in 2008, PA Semi is a semiconductor company that specializes in energy efficient processors. It is possible that Apple might use a specially made SOC core to run OSX on the iPad.

Over the last few versions for OSX there have been many touch friendly features that have been introduced into OSX this could hit at an tablet running OSX

Installing a new OS on a Compaq Presario B1800 with a dead CDROM

I had to install Xubuntu for a Compaq Presario B1800 that had a broken CDROM drive, I first tried to get it to PXE boot an ISO, That did not work as there is only 512MB of ram in it.

The next thing I tried was to connect  a external DVD drive and then tried to boot it, The external drive was not being detected.

The way to rectify this problem is to enable Floppy Disk boot form the BIOS and give it higher priority than the HDD. I have no idea why this works but it does work.
