harmless fu: invert colors, watch friend go mad (mac)

Let me give you a piece of advice. Never mess with a man's computer. Unless it's a harmless prank like this one for inverting the colors on any Mac OS X machine. Use this keystroke combination:

Control+Option+Command+8

Go ahead and try it. Use the same keystroke to go back to normal. Like every other prank, the set up is most important. So before you start control-opt-command-eighting all of your friends, you might want to tell them about the new Mac virus that's corrupting LCD displays. Have fun!

wow, this is actually a good tip! having the inverted colors is actually useful sometimes... I personally use Nocturne that allows for more custom settings (http://docs.blacktree.com/nocturne/nocturne) but as a prank or quick mode change on macs without nocturne this is quite handy :)

Beatiful! Sad nobody in my office works with a Mac? Does anyone in Europe do? :-(

I took it a slight step further... I inverted his desktop wallpaper first, so all the windows and such were inverted... but the wallpaper looked right. His brain nearly exploded.
