Newton Virus - Art virus for Mac
BackNewton Virus is the first art virus by Troika. In the beginning were harmless computer viruses. Viruses born out of the wit of early computer adopters, viruses whose sole purpose was to surprise and amuse. A non-destructive form of artificial life. We wanted to revive this golden era, and went on to create our first computer virus. We chose to do it for mac as the platform is still a virgin territory ;-) Spice up your colleagues' day with our Newton Virus, the first virus to introduce gravity to your laptop, causing the desktop icons to fall down as if subject to the gravitational pull from the real world. Newton Virus comes on a USB key for manual infection. Simply plug the key into a computer and the virus will automatically copy itself on the hard drive. The virus will then hit at random, but only once. It will not replicate itself, mail itself to your friends or destroy any of your files, but instead provides you with moments of blissful surprise and magic.

But to get this to work you would have to quit finder. (an applescript or terminal file). Than you would have had to edited the original finder to react the possible way. Then, you would have to start that one. It is relatively simple. It would probably be fixed when you restart the computer. Or you can write an applescript. The only reason I don't beleive that is real is because I dont see a dock. (however, one could have chosen to hide the dock.)

Actually, you can but people don't spend the time to make a virus for a mac. Also, i think you might have an incorrect perception of what a virus is.
btw, i like mac just for the record.

irrelevant? The fact that im bragging about my mac on a mac video?
If you didnt want to argue with me, then why would you reply to my comment? I even wrote it out for you. And the fact that my macbook can run windows, os x, and ubuntu just proves that it is far superior.

You never told us that, so your comment did appear to be irrelevant.
I replied in the hope to stop an idiot with no reasoning skills responding.
Your macbook may be a better machine that most laptops, but it certainly costs a whole lot more as well. There are always two sides to every issue.
Neither brand is better than the other in any real overall standpoint.
