+Q: Can I mine with cgminer on a MAC?
+A: cgminer will compile on OSX, but the performance of GPU mining is
+compromised due to the opencl implementation on OSX, there is no temperature
+or fanspeed monitoring, and the cooling design of most MACs, despite having
+powerful GPUs, will usually not cope with constant usage leading to a high
+risk of thermal damage. It is highly recommended not to mine on a MAC unless
+it is to a USB device.
