The Apple improvment showcase is a collection of hacks that take current Apple products and technologies just one step further (Or backwards).
G3
In the past year Apple's products have begun to become more and more transluscent. The casing, keyboard, and even the mouse have all become transluscent. This hack takes the idea one step further making the screen transluscent.
50sMac
This hack, inspired by the conference theme, makes the computer appear as it would on a television in the 1950s. Make sure that your computer is in 8-bit color when using this hack.
ShagadelicMac
This hack, inspired by the conference movie (Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me), creates some shagadelic flower wherever the cursor travels.
HelpMeNot!
This hack gets rid of an extremely annoying "feature" in the MacOS. It disables the help key on the keyboard so that you do not have to wait several seconds for the help to open if you accidentally tap it.
