Thanks to the folks at Doomlaser, you can now add a prank Kernal Panic screensaver to your collection of screensavers. If you’ve been fortunate enough never to have witnessed a Kernal Panic personally – a Kernal Panic is, if you like, the Mac equivalent of a Windows Blue Screen of Death and usually occurs when there’s a serious hardware/software failure on your Mac.

Now you can simulate it by downloading and installing KPSaver from Doomlaser.

Note, that because KPSaver constantly displays a still image, it may not serve as a good permanent screensaver to use on your Mac as you might suffer an LCD burn-in effect over extended periods of use. As a suggestion to circumvent this, you can maybe time your screen sleep to occur shortly after your KPSaver takes effect.

In 1978, founders Matt and Hendricks were looking for a tech event to showcase their new startup. When they couldn’t find one that checked all the boxes they decided to host their own. As they were organizing things, they soon realized they needed somewhere to promote the conference, and that’s how newsweb.com was launched. It later became a blog and the result is what you are looking at right now.
