Oh **** you remind me that. I now need this screen saver!Yep, I hate to think how half these people would react these days if anyone released a screensaver featuring flying toasters.
I'll take a resurrection of the Talking Moose if I'm going to have a random dumb thing talking to me on my computer screen. The fact that nobody has (as best I can tell) built a version or clone that runs on a modern Mac is a crying shame.
There is, it turns out, a Windows version by the original author, but it the absolute most nightmare-fuel version of the Moose I can imagine. How anyone could create that monstrosity is beyond me.
To me, the existence of the notch in general seems like a fantastic use of screen real-estate in a world in which the camera has to take up some space. I now have a screen the exact same size and ratio as my previous MacBook Pro, but I also have an additional stripe at the top for the menu bar that was previously just black glass to leave room for the camera.
Basically, I'm getting a free half-inch of vertical screen, and because the MacOS always has the menu bar up there, having a little chunk missing in the middle of it is basically no loss at all. The only mistake was not either making the menu bar black by default, or having a wallpaper with a black stripe at the top as the default.
If your complaint is about how big it is horizontally, it is about twice as wide as it needs to be, but only twice, since it's not just the camera in there--there's a light sensor to the left of the camera and the indicator LED to the right

Ya, check out my new MacBook Pro! I just love the real estate!
Ya, but closing my lid works even better. I don’t ever notice the notch when the lid is closed. It’s great.If your wallpaper is solid black on the top, you'll never notice the notch. Totally forgot about it.

I thought the same thing and found it humorous but frankly I am surprised that politically correct Apple of all companies would allow this with the accompanying picture to stay on the App Store. When Tim gets wind of it, it’s coming down. Just saying….For anyone like myself who was initially confused, the first image has a row of Xmas tree lights, not nooses.
For people without friends, this Tamagotchi might be really useful social support.Yes.
I found myself talking to Mr. Clippy at my desk when no-one was around, about how much I disliked my boss, what my plans were for the weekend and listening to my complaints why the freakin’ printer always being offline … Even though Mr. Clippy never responded, I knew he understood me. ?
This is what we need! With toast that we can configure too. Like sourdough with PB&J. And we can play Doom on the toasters.Yep, I hate to think how half these people would react these days if anyone released a screensaver featuring flying toasters.
Now with 17 kinds of background analytics from all the big tech companies. Totally not malwareThis is totally random and dumb but I wish somebody would bring back Bonzi Buddy without all the malware and viruses
Oh damn, no I want one with a rear view mirror using the camera to give me an actual mirror imagethis notch has potential to become what the rear view mirror has been for decades.
