Pay Tribute to the HD-DVD Crack with a Screensaver

Screensaver
As you might have heard, all hell broke loose today as the code to crack HD-DVD encryption spread all over the Intarwebs, to the chagrin of Digg Founder Kevin Rose. It’s a pretty big day, no matter how you feel about DRM. I’m not going to link directly to the code, because I’m not about that, but a playful OS X developer has created a screensaver that takes the 16 numbers in the code and randomly moves them around, so the actual order isn’t certain. To be clear, the configuration in the image above is not the correct order. Keep it clean, kids, but remember the events of the day in style.
