Spinning Pizza of Death
n. [OS X; common] The quartered-circle busy indicator on Mac OS X versions
before 10.2, after which it was replaced by a sort of rainbow pinwheel
thingy. It was analogous to the Microsoft Windows hourglass, but OS X 10.0's
legendary slowness under the Aqua toolkit made this term rather more
evocative. See Death, X of.
