I've seen a thread about people that had their macs hacked into. Impressive, and most entertaining part of it was "No it wasn't graphics, I've seen mouse forcefully being moved, opening google, and typed You've been had." I'm not type of person to write that, but It's really fun, and I'm just interested in this type of software for ... dunno. Actually not, would be fan pranking people.

Press Control+Option+Command+8 on other people's computers when they're not around and watch them panic when they get back.

About the mouse moving, sounds like someone knew the target Mac's username and password. Sounds like someone was toying with Remote Desktop or in 10.5, "Screen Sharing."

:D That's pretty funny. And, shamefully, I have done that in the past. To friends of course. And quickly reversed after a few laughs were had.

Puts the display in high contrast mode.

Inverts the desktop so white becomes black and vice versa. Looks a bit freaky.

lol I did not know about that one. It actually looks kind of cool, IMO. I kind of wonder what the apple store folks would do if you went in and did that to every Mac on display :D
"excuse me sir, this macbook looks all, weird..."

Another one is of course to open Terminal, type 'yes' (w/o quotes), hit enter, and watch as the boolean loop jacks the CPU up to 100%.
Heck, if their laptop doesn't vent heat very well they may come back to a core shutdown, which is scarier / meaner than a joke is meant for...
