I’m using this wallpaper, and it actually sped my iMac up 241% — Well worth the effort. Thanks.

And, if you turn up the exposure on this wallpaper, you get zfs read/write ability in Disk Utility.

ah! yes, just another one of those nifty new tricks, apple don’t tell you about their regarding their new upgrades.

I just loaded the wallpaper. Now I finally got the new Dock/Exposé-Feature!

I didn’t think it was worth my $7 so I illegally downloaded this wallaper off bittorent.

Tice on Thu, 11th Jun 2009 4:57 pm


I can’t use it, I got a PPC.

Be careful, this thing totally trashed my system. It went into the endless reboot loop after I set this as my desktop. Thank goodness for Time Machine.

I knew I should have done the “save as” from direct link rather than opening the picture then clicking on it to save to my desktop. This is why I usually wait to apply these until the kinks are ironed out.

Holly F**k! This wallpaper turned my OS X into Windows. What a downgrade! And not just any Windows, but shitty Vista! I want my money back, like right now!

This wallpaper not only sped up my computer, it cured by ED. It’s better than Viagra!

Traci on Tue, 16th Jun 2009 1:37 pm


I downloaded it and lost 5 lbs!

Sammy Love on Tue, 16th Jun 2009 1:42 pm


Sorry, not too good with the jokes but, did it really make your mac run faster? I don’t understand how.

Leon on Tue, 16th Jun 2009 1:55 pm


I’m wondering if you can also post the Snow Leopard server wallpaper, to see if it speeds up my G4 server also….



Khan on Tue, 16th Jun 2009 1:56 pm


This wallpaper downgraded my hdd to sata 1.5

Marco on Tue, 16th Jun 2009 2:20 pm


I downloaded this wallpaper from my HP tower and now I can boot to OS X and Win XP!!! sweet!!!

MiGS on Tue, 16th Jun 2009 3:52 pm


I just made this the background of my WindowsXP machine and suddenly it no longer sucks.

(5 sec delay…)

Oh wait. It still sucks.

Agos on Tue, 16th Jun 2009 5:10 pm


Thanks, that fixed the faulty battery that was giving me some issues. Also, it repaired permissions for me!

A on Tue, 16th Jun 2009 6:22 pm


Whoa!

When I enabled white-on-black on this wallpaper a wormhole opened!!!!

Trilock on Tue, 16th Jun 2009 7:25 pm


uhm.. you guys are crazy the wallpaper didn’t do anything for me… except DOUBLE MY RAM!!!??? WTF awesome apple!! when i run the latest snow leopard build the ram goes away though…

pjm on Tue, 16th Jun 2009 8:03 pm


Ah, you idiots: what do you expect when you fail to verify disk permissions before installing the new wallpaper, and then verify disk permissions again afterward?

I do this both before and after opening anything, and I’ve *never* had my machine fail to open the file in the middle(*). Live and learn. Atom.

(*) It does get a tiny bit annoying when you have closed one file, verified disk permissions, and then want to open another immediately. But I do it anyway. IT HAS NEVER FAILED ME!

karl on Tue, 16th Jun 2009 9:10 pm


This background cured my aids.

Thanks Macenstein!!!

Dave Barnes on Tue, 16th Jun 2009 9:17 pm

They really needed to do something to get rid of the “God’s fart” look of the old wallpaper.

iChineseGuy on Thu, 25th Jun 2009 2:10 am


After installing this wallpaper on my vista, (with all the secret instructions i got here) my PC became a Mac the next day. The best thing is, the minute i log online to the internet, the snow lopard wallpaper even got $500,000 wired into my bank account from Apple Inc.

Thanks for the tips! This really rocks!!!

Mac Hoe on Mon, 6th Jul 2009 11:03 pm


Funny this is.. this wall paper doesn’t do anything to my iMac..

Christian Meredith on Wed, 29th Jul 2009 4:19 am


I tried to change my background to this, but it appears that Snow Leopard’s default wallpaper is no match for Haruhi Suzumiya.

Wallpapers will only speed up your computer if it came with some kind of hidden program that is supposed to do all kinds of fixes.

Hedi on Thu, 13th Aug 2009 2:18 pm


Lots of “interesting” comments.
Thanks to Dr. Macenstein for sharing.

Greg on Wed, 26th Aug 2009 7:16 pm

Devon C. on Mon, 31st Aug 2009 10:27 am


I upgraded to Snow Leopard wallpaper and now my basset hound can fly!

Thank You, Apple…Thank You!

Fatsquatch on Mon, 31st Aug 2009 2:58 pm


With this wallpaper, my World of Warcraft frame-rate increased by 35 fps!

Gustonez on Sat, 5th Sep 2009 6:51 am


you guys are crazy lol

Chasen on Mon, 7th Sep 2009 5:46 pm


To all those not so tech-savvy… I legitimately feel sorry for you that you are falling for the jokes. Actually it made my day that much better knowing that a sucker is truly still born everyday…lol

Oh and the wallpaper made unicorns fly out of my butt… yep.

anonim on Wed, 9th Sep 2009 11:40 pm


I put the wallpaper on my windows 2000 and when I rebooted I had snow leopard!!!!!!!!

Andrew on Thu, 17th Sep 2009 7:49 am


My ExpressCard slot is getting…smaller…NOOOOOO! IT TURNED INTO AN SD CARD SLOT!! WHY, WALLPAPER, WHY??

natgab on Wed, 23rd Sep 2009 8:49 pm


I just put it on my aging Pismo, and boy does it fly. Is there nothing a Pismo can’t do?

P.S. Where are the ones with the cats?

Jake on Mon, 26th Oct 2009 9:46 pm


I just added this wallpaper to my Dell and Steve Jobs rose from the floor, threw out my Dell and placed a shiny new Mac Book Pro on my desk. Steve, you are a life saver. Thanks.

PS. Sorry Lauren from the Windows commercial. I am cool enough to have a mac.

Gorgonzola on Mon, 2nd Nov 2009 12:31 pm


I installed this wall paper to my Windows PC and it started oscillating between leopard and snow leopard auroras. Then I blacked out. When I came to there before me was a shiny new Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard OS X!!! MAC FTW… No seriously!

whereisthespoon on Wed, 16th Dec 2009 4:09 pm


Gee thanks Doc, the damn wallpaper did nothing for my com.
