Or they could be sold zoo animals. Or be relocated to eucalyptus reserves around australia, or in other parts of the world (maybe California). Why kill them if there are viable alternatives?

Actually, the "Zoom" feature in Mac OS X's "Universal Access" control panel does give complete positional information (about "where the magnified part of the screen is in relation to the rest") at all times.
While the pointer/cursor maneuvers the actual view displayed on the screen through the greater "windowing/desktop" environment, the pointer is in the same place on the visible screen as it (and the visible screen) is in relation to the windowing/desktop environment.
For example, when the pointer is in the top left of the screen while "Zoom" is turned on, then the magnified, visible area shown on-screen is in the top left of the windowing environment, and when the pointer is moved to the exact center of the screen, then the zoomed/magnified area moves to the exact center of the desktop/windowing environment.
In other words, turning the "Zoom" feature on or off (using a keyboard shortcut or the control panel) does not change the position of the pointer on the screen, and the position of the visible screen and the pointer in relation to the desktop/windowing environment is always clearly visible.
The experience can be a little disorienting at first, but can be adjusted to with a little practice by anyone who knows that the positional information is there and has some basic 2D spatial ability. It seems to be a simple, effective method for extending the desktop/windowing environment's usability to the visually impaired.
I had this problem at first also. If you close it swiftly (not forcefully) it will close and stay closed. Don't press hard (or at all), trying to make it stick, or the pressure may cause/exacerbate the white spots issue.
Didn't Apple already create a self configuring wireless network? How is this different then rendezvous? Doesn't Apple own patents to this concept, or at least have prior art?

"It is best described as "walk through hallway. Shoot door.
Walk through door. Shoot enemy. Repeat."
Bullsh1t!

What specifically would you add/change to make it better? (besides add multiplayer). I would just add more of what it already has.
Way too easy, considering this story contains almost no content worth commenting on!
