Newton Virus - Art virus for Mac

Oklahoma Sports Fan

Newton 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.

only mac users would drop theirs off of a rooftop in the first place

the accelerometer is if say you drop your mac off of your roof it will detect that it is falling and it will protect the harddrive

they do but it is to help protect the hard drive in case of a fall. make it stop spinning. then some hackers went and hacked a mac and made some fun apps with the accelerometer

Ummm, yes they do. All macs have a 3-axis accelerometer built into them. Its not a joke. They use it to slow down the hard drive when there is a lot of movement, stop spinning a disk in the drive when it is tilted, and detecting when it is about to free-fall, and prepare for that.
