Wow, thanks, I see I would need "a few" Macs for this project ;)

Installing 20+ operating systems on Mac without any virtualization
@Tetsujin So, if I have an install disk/iso of 10.7 or 10.8 I cannot install this version of Mac os on the new Mac Pro? And the 64bit CPU can run 32bit OS, that's not an issue, you just use different instructions that the chip offers. regarding GPU drivers and compatibility, I don't need to have the highest resolution , I can run the OS in some default (low res) mode on 256 colors etc., that's not an issue for this project.

No Mac can run an OS older than itself I have 1 year old Mac Pro that should be fine. Although you are right that the versions before 10.6 will be probably impossible to install and I would need to use the old Mac from our school.

What about using different bootloaders e.g. I can have different bootloaders for different groups on usb sticks when booting to the system? It doesn't have to have only one bootloader.

Does the iPhone have a disabled chip for FM Radio?
@bmike The antenna has to be at least 1 meter long +-, because of the wavelength of the FM radio. Don't know the exact numbers, but it has to do with that. Btw. therefore the message on Nokias, many Androids, Window phones that "Please plug in a Headset to use FM radio" ;)

How to get rid of the "ears" in the bottom of the screen?
Because it's more efficient that way. In windows you have just one bar and everything is there. On Mac it's the same. That's why I prefer on Linux desktop environments like KDE, Cinnamon, Mate, Xfce, Lxde and don't like Unity, Gnome, Pantheon, etc. Why have 2 bars if one is enough? This is what I don't like on OS X, the top menu and multitasking problems it brings. In Windows or KDE you see the menu of the windows you have open right away and you can click drectly to the menu, e.g. edit without swithcing the program at all.
