Product Description:

This Widget plays Pong against itself. While this sounds useless, there is one reason: The score always displays the current time.

Today, this is only a "technical preview"; the clock works okay but has not been extensively tested. It runs completely through Javascript and it consumes some CPU-Time, namely about 10% ~ 11% on a 1 GHz G4 PowerBook. Of course, it does not run while the dashboard is hidden and does therefore consume no power then.

In future releases, you`ll be able to actually play Pong.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.4 or higher

Could you make it a screensaver? - Version: 0.3, 4/28/2006 04:00PM PST

I'd love if you could make this widget into a screensaver. I have an old powerbook mounted to my wall, and this would make a very cool clock to display when the machine isn't in use.

See this link for an example: http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/top-10-strangest-home-gadgets
