Apple Computer Inc. on Wednesday confirmed that it has embedded in OS X a poem that warns hackers against stealing the Mac operating system.

The poem's existence was reported online by the OSx86 Project, a site dedicated to all things technical related to OS X on the Intel platform. Apple recently started shipping desktop computers and notebooks with Intel Corp.'s processors.

The poem reads:

"Your karma check for today: There once was a user that whined his existing OS was so blind, he'd do better to pirate an OS that ran great but found his hardware declined. Please don't steal Mac OS! Really, that's way uncool. (C) Apple Computer Inc."
