I don't know who dreamt up this program, but they must've been smoking some interesting stuff... It's a DVD player. That can be put in front of everything else, made translucent (thus the name) and have all mouse and keyboard events passed through. So you can watch But I'm A Cheerleader (it was lying within arm's reach, OK?) in full-screen size and, for example, write an entry in your LiveJournal at the same time.

I haven't yet decided if this is genius or just insane.

Damn, I can even switch virtual desktops behind the movie... And maybe I should change my desktop wallpaper if I really use this, because right now it looked like Clea DuVall tried to snog Buffy.

I enjoyed But I'm a Cheerleader

Sounds good. Mac, I assume? How much, and will it run on an iBook G4?

Yup, Mac. It's crippleware, and they want $15 for a license code. It works fine on my iBook G4.

I'll take a look.
