Product Description:

Someone you never liked has got a 30" Display? Or even a 17" MacBook Pro? Show him the fear with this Screen Saver. It looks like the Display is broken. And its animated - not just a static Image! Great fun to watch IT Guys running for help ;) (Unplugging the Keyboard while the Saver is running is hillarious!) This Screensaver is made with Quartz Composer.

At Intel Notebooks you will notice the Fans spinning more often, when the Screen Saver is running. This is the case with almost all bigger Quartz Composer Applications and is a normal behaviour.

Besides that Broken Display Screen Saver is mostly harmless.

What's new in this version:

Now this Saver needs way less resources then before. It runs on a MacBook with 30 FPS.

Operating System Requirements:

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

Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later

where is my mac

i kinda like this Screen saver. It a bit different and does not "save" your screen, but i looks funny. And it does not suck up your cpu power. (as the old version did apparently)

Might this be what we were shooting for? - Version: 1.1, 11/25/2006 03:17PM PST

Nonsense. I have seen and used many Quartz Composer-based screen savers and none hammered the CPU like this one apparently does.

One more thing: Beware of visiting his web site--it will zoom your browser window to full screen. How presumptuous and rude!
