    I have Leopard and I was able to get rid of it no problem.

    Is pressing it the same as pressing F9? (Assuming you haven’t changed the default expose function)

    Can you change it to be anything else?

    @ Paul its more like F10 on an older keyboard. you are not moving all windows, just the active program windows.

    I don’t see a use for it but it looks funny, so thank you for this easter egg.

    This is pretty useless. There are easier ways to achieve the same effect.

    -to Robbie, you must restart the dock by using killall dock command again. it was in the video.

    I saw a way to quit the blob, but I can’t recall where it was. Try to search in the preferences.

    If you use the application “Mac Pilot” (downloadable from Apple.com, you can turn the blob on.

    To get rid of the blob just switch out “YES” with “NO”
    GET RID OF BLOB
    GET RID OF BLOB
