• Jun 08, 2016 For years, some Apple users have been hoping for Apple to release a touchscreen Mac. This desire reached a fever pitch in 2012 when Microsoft released Windows 8, their first desktop OS designed.
• 10 Easter Eggs in Mac OS X Since the beginning of Apple history, Steve Jobs and his team in Cupertino have been secretly adding tons of fun prompts and games into hidden parts of Mac OS X. In celebration of the Easter holiday coming up, we’ve collected our favorite Mac “Easter Eggs” for you to enjoy.

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

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*.
Not worth posting on Mac OS X hints.

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.

Egg Mac Salad

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.

Mac Os Mojave

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