I can confirm that it really works and does impress the audience since
I have done that several times on presentations (at least two times on
FOSDEM) by downloading some public sample code from Apple (e.g.
Polygons, Font Explorer etc.).
Here are some links:
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/navigation/index.html (choose
Sample Code and find some for AppKit)
