There is a Apple Easter Eggs 1.5 and I believe a 1.6 version but I can't find it right now.

A Blue Meanie's Story:

Dig around and append the links in Greg's story on the Wayback Machine and you'll get the whole story.
He knows where all the bodies are buried. ;-)

System 7.5's Breakout game was one of the best.

Cool and Free Tools: QTTimeCode

QTTimeCode

"QTTimeCode is a sample application that illustrates how to use the timecode media handler.
You can use QTTimeCode to add a timecode track to a movie, to extract the current timecode value from a movie, to extract the source information about a timecode track, and to toggle the display of a movie's timecode track.

On an end note remember the immortal words of Arlo Guthrie in Alice's Restaurant.

And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I
wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and
guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill,
KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL," and
he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down
yelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me,
sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy."

Didn't feel too good about it.

Everything Old is New Again

On: An Interplanetary Laser Communications System

If you don't know anything about Nikola Tesla pick up a book called "Man Out of TIme", it's a good primer to look deeper.
People have little idea of what this man *continues* to give to our societies, the military certainly does.

http://www.teslascience.org/pages/tesla.htm

"In December of 1900, after wrapping up his preliminary testing he returned to New York to begin work on the full sized prototype worldwide broadcasting station.

The main structure built to house equipment for this station and known as the Wardenclyffe Laboratory Building, is still standing near the Long Island community of Shoreham, New York.&#160; Not a great amount has been learned about the station's specific design details.&#160; It is quite certain that there would have been major similarities between it and the large 1899 apparatus in Colorado.&#160; Tesla's investigations at Wardenclyffe were brought to an end due to a lack of research funding.&#160; The building was abandoned and Tesla's tower was eventually demolished during the early years of World War I.

One interesting feature of Tesla's world system for global communications, had it gone into full operation, would have been its capacity to demonstrate on a limited scale the wireless transmission of electrical power. If the prototype communications station at Wardenclyffe had shown the feasibility of wireless power transmission, then Tesla intended to build a full scale power transmitter at Niagara Falls, site of the first commercial three phase AC power plant mentioned earlier."
