1) It is an Apple screensaver used exclusively in the shop. If they use it routinely, I would go in there and ask them about it. In this scenario, the screensaver is most likely Mac-only, and even if it wasn't, it would probably by an Apple exclusive thing for the shop. You wouldn't be able to get it.
2) It was some sort of built-in screensaver in OS X. I went through some of the default screensavers on my Mac here, but I didn't find anything as you described it. I first thought of the iTunes Artwork option, which will display all of your iTunes music, but that wasn't it.
But, then I remembered what it is. In OS X, there is a screensaver option that is called "Mosaic", which can take all of the pictures in a given screensaver or picture folder and turn them into a collage of sorts. Pretty cool stuff. Each picture zooms out and becomes part of a larger picture, composed of other pictures in that folder or category. Windows may have a similar option, but I'm not aware of it. You'd need a Mac to make use of this same feature. And, you'd have to use your own photos to make it work. I think iTunes art does this as well, which is why I mentioned earlier... If you want, you could go try it out at the store and ask them about it, if I am thinking of the right thing.
Also, check out this link and see the screensaver features in Leopard. Be sure to check out all the other cool things in OS X too. Hope this helps.

Hello!
When I was in a mall recently I passed near Apple computer and there was a screensaver working on it. Now I can't find anything similar to this .
I can describe it like this:
There was an image (regular photo) of something. The perspective of looking at the image was such as though I looked directly at it from little distance. Now the perspective slowly changed ,like the man holding the camera was being lifted in the air,so the photograph has become smaller, and it appeared there are a lot of other photographs near the picture, adjasent to it. The movement up of the camera continues and now there are really lot of small photos. The rise still continues and now we can see that the photos themselves form a pattern and as the rise continues I see that the pattern is that of another photo
. As the movement continues the pattern becomes more and more exact, forming new picture,untill it suddenly turns out to be a new photograph of something new. Now the screensaver begins anew movement of the camera up and.. it goes like this endlessly...
Really one of the most beautiful screensavers I've seen, never seen anything like this before.. Understand my description is not very good but if anyone has idea of how this screen saver is called or where I can buy/ download it (preferably for Windows coz I have no Mac) it would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
Valentin.
