Apple, understandably, broke Atom support in its latest 10.6.2 update for Snow Leopard — but that’s not going to keep enterprising Hackintoshers from finding a workaround.
They promised it last week, and now they’ve delivered: Atom support is back, although apparently implementing the fix isn’t the easiest project. Still, the ball’s in Apple’s court now. Is this going to turn into a Palm Pre-iTunes thing, or will Apple just let it lie? [Yahoo]

why does everyone keep saying “apple broke atom support” or “apple no longer supports atom”
apple never “supported” it. it was always a hack. if you tried calling apple with your modded netbook, or took it into a genius bar, saying feature x doesn’t work properly, are they going to help you fix it?
they had no responsibility to keep it working on atom processors, and they took active steps to prevent its use on atom processors. this is not the same as no longer providing support.

I dont really see what everyones problem is. If apple was trying to kill hackintoshes, they could nuke every single processor not in a Mac. End of problem. Theyre not. Why only kill Atom?
What I personally believe is they are merely trying to trim OSX down, with less bulk.
