Spooky... hope we don't go this direction!

Now if they made it Keira's face, that would be different! 😛

Seriously, I don't need this type of interFACE!

I don't know that I would care for the underwater "Finn the fish." Will just have to wait and see. Would prefer that they make improvements to the face, the blue just doesn't look natural. When it says that its downloadable for free, imagine that means it's just for Windows. This could be a "Hal" coming to reality, but hopefully with full human control.

Just plain creepy. Does this mean we might see the resurfacing of the "Happy Mac" for Mac OS XV?

Don't you mean "Mac OS X 15.0?" 😉

OS XV is more likely than OS X 15.0 🙄 😉

More like max headroom - but that blue face with odd lighting is not something that would get me to load it on my machine.....

Will they have to pay licensing to "Blue Man Group" over this?

Here is your new iMac 20" screen

I think pozytron was mocking the "OS X 10.x" naming convention, where the 'X' and the '10' are redundant. I think the statement was supposed to be:

Aaahh, I get it now! Thanks for explaining JSW, and apologies pozytron if I came across a bit snappish 😱 🙂

That was the point that I was making, the blue shade of the face would turn me off. Also would question if it would even work with Mac OS X. Mayby this is something that Apple could incorporate in furture versions.
