    Some of the Photo Booth + iChat AV features are missing...such as the Star Wars hologram effect. Probably couldn't get it ready in time.

    It might arrive in future Software Updates though.

    Well they were able to extract the star wars hologram one from the developer build, I'm just wondering why they haven't done the same with the fake mouth one (its way more fun!), I thought maybe I was missing something!

    No idea about the fake mouth.

    TUAW: Getting the iChat hologram effect back.

    Alternative Download Links: [1] [2]

    There are also 2 additional screen savers: Security and Retro. You need to install the Developer Tools (Or Use the Download Link Below) and then go to /Developer/Examples/Quartz Composer/Compositions/Screen Savers/ and copy them into /Library/Screen Savers/.

    Download Retro & Security

    Yeah thanks man I had already gotten that one, but the one I vividly remembered was the fake mouth one, I was LOLing so hard I almost peed my pants when they were doing the demo. It was priceless. They really need to bring it back :(

    I want to find this too! It must have been in one of the Leopard Beta Builds?

    Here is the WWDC 2007 iChat Presentation for reference. The effect we're looking for is demonstrated beginning at 5:44 with a George Washington mask.

    The only way you'll ever get Steve Ballmer to show up at an Apple keynote ;).
