PCs Rejoice – How to Infect a Mac

Clever app tricks not-so clever Mac users
I’m a PC, you’re a Mac, one of us gets ill with all sorts of horrible viruses, the other lives a life of good health and prosperity.
One of us also gets sick of the other’s constant jibes, “oh I bet you wish you were like me, I never get viruses nah nah nah”.
The Mac vs. PC debate has divided computer users for a while now. PC users in particular face the brunt of the argument, having to listen to various reasons as to why Macs are better – aesthetics, usability and the all important “no virus” claim.
The fact that Macs cause endless compatibility strife for the normal people who use PCs is frankly, by the by for Mac users, happy to sacrifice functionality in order for their computers to “look pretty”. Well now, finally, PC fans can get their sweet revenge with the devilishly clever Newton Virus.
Ok so it’s not a real virus but your smug Mac using comrades will probably wet themselves in fear when they see this sneaky app in its glory.
The Norton Virus app for OS X collapses the Mac desktop, leaving all the desktop icons crumpled along the bottom of the screen, tilt the screen and the icons follow, as if pulled by gravity. For a small fee of $7 you can download the app and when you get the chance slip it onto a smarmy Mac user’s computer.
All that you have to next is sit back and relax as the victim recoils in horror when his untouchable Mac appears to fall foul to a horrible virus. Enjoy!
You know, all this proves is that Macbooks have a tilt sensor. Any real Mac user will immediately know that it’s a joke.
One up for Mac! The tilt sensor is implemented so that in the event of an accidental drop, the hard drive will shut off so the moving parts do not damage the data.
Knocking it down is difficult anyway since it has a magnetic power cable that detaches easily in case someone trips over the wire.
