Default OSX - North Korean Style

Given the locked down nature of OSX and the restrictions and control Apple exerts over its users, it was only natural that North Korea would choose to mimic this OSX as their state owned OS for their computers

Could make for a interesting Apple lawsuit.

Apple: Stop copying our OS or we'll try to sue you.
North Korea: **** off!

"The Linux-based Red Star OS is peppered with North Korean propaganda, and its calendar tells users it is not 2014, but 103 - the number of years since the birth of former North Korean leader Kim Il-sung."

**** me talk about brainwashed, that takes the biscuit.

The North Koreans or the Fanbois?

Seriously though, it is scary how much control one man can exert on every single individual in his country and rule with complete impunity.
