TMUPS 010: Tiger and Leopard Easter Egg “The Blob”
In this short Screencast I show a hidden Easter Egg in both Tiger and Leopard that I call “The Blob.” If you want to subscribe to the Typical Mac User Blip.tv Video feed you can do so here.
WARNING: This tip uses “Terminal commands” to execute the Easter Egg. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I cannot be responsible anyone doing this and having any issues.

Neat tip, Victor.

I thought that easter eggs were things that you could not do/see in normal mode but this just gives you options which you can do anyway! Am I missing something here!
Anyway still a nice find Victor you really are a cyber geek!

Right you can’t see or do this in normal mode. Unless you dig deep you can’t see it, unless you know its’ there. So I think it’s an Easter Egg but I’m wrong a lot, so who knows
Like you said , I thought it was fun and wanted to share it. That’s what I do.
