Eggs Mac OS

broken image


Apple likes to have the last laugh. Over the years, the company has put a variety of Easter eggs — hidden tricks and features, for the uninitiated — in its line of Mac products. From clever photos. Mac OS X's animations make it seem like applications are moving faster than they appear to be. If you minimize a window, you can see the operating system's 'genie effect' take hold of the app. Let's take a look at some of the hidden abilities and Easter eggs in some popular Mac applications (that you probably already own). Apple's TextEdit icon. OS X Lion; It indicates an expandable. OS X (pronounced oh ess ten) is the brand name of a series of Unix-compatible operating systems and graphical user interfaces developed, marketed, and sold by Apple Inc. Since 2002, Mac OS X has been included with all new Macintosh computer systems. It is the successor to Mac OS 9, the final release of the 'classic' Mac OS, which had been Apple's primary operating system since 1984.

I saw this when I looked at the info on an Epson printer, too!
Very fun!

Thrustworks mac os. It's not a BSOD on my 10.5.8 when connecting to a server via samba. Just default aqua blue mac desktop picture. Too bad, would have been funny.

I may have misunderstood this er, tip. I see the BSOD if another computer shows up as a server and I Get Info, but not if I connect to a windows file server.

Definitely shows here. Very funny.

This is not new. It was there also in 10.5 (don't remember about 10.4).

It was introduced in 10.5 (more than 3.5 years ago). Not sure why this qualifies to be posted here, unless there just haven't been any good submissions in a while.

Just about four, actually.

Not a hint, not an easter egg, just an icon.

@ crarko, i laughed my ass off when i worked at Apple ;-]

This is old, but not only is it a BSOD, it's also a dirty old beige CRT. The Macs all look new and shiny.

You can find this icon at /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/public.generic-pc.icns, I believe someone already tipped this before.

and to open it, select the path and do Safari (or your Cocoa browser) > Services > Open, or Reveal if you want to see other icons.

The image is located at /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/public.generic-pc.icns

I remember when 10.5 came out a bunch of Linux users complained about this, as linux machines running SMB were also represented with BSOD icons as well.

This is old. Very, very old. *yawn*.

My 10.6.6 server shows up like this as a windows computer, even when we connect via AFP from our mac's (SMB service is turned on though). Bugs the crap out of me.

Ok, it's not a hint and it's old, but it's sure funny!
Actually, all the servers' icons (under Shared) are the same CRT with BSOD, you don't even have to click get info. They were there all this time and I never noticed.
I use my MacBook on a network with mostly windows machines. It's BSOD all around.

The easiest way to see the detail of the icon (and it's well worth it!) is to Get Info, select the icon, copy it, open Preview and press cmd-N.
You'll see the three sizes of the icon displayed including the superb 512x512 one.
Classic. Still funny.

It may have seemed cute when Apple was the feisty underdog, but now that they are a smart phone / tablet / online music-video-software store behemoth whose market cap and profitability surpass those of its rivals, crap like this makes them look like dicks.

I would like to change that icon to represent my printer and a new name is this possible
