Does not appear to play nice with other apps that use the iSight. For example, if Mirror is running and you try a video chat under iChat, iChat can't grab the camera -- even though Mirror is not active on the Dashboard.

i just can't for the life of me figure out why this clever idea is a widget rather than a screensaver or an app... or both?

I tried with MacBook, and I get green screan most of the time, and i can turn off camera. When I get to work it just takes a quick snap and freezes. sorry still needs to be fixed, but i love the idea if it works
