Apple trackpad glitch?! (VIDEO) ~NSFW

jasonpaige79 · 01:38 AM

The other day, I was using the torrent application vuze and came across a glitch or something. I was trying to cut something and accidentally hit control-command-option-x, and a prompt with 3 x's appeared on the screen. I didn't know what to think of it, but then I went to the system preferences and to the trackpad settings, and....things changed! The trackpad is replaced with a bare lady-boob! the video is slightly NSFW as it has a bare nipple, so beware. has this happened to anyone else??

LOL, nice. I like how it comes up with 'XXX' on the screen

Somebody's going to get fired for that Easter Egg. I can see this turning into a PR disaster, along with a speedy new software update to squash it asap.

Umm wow, just wow.

THis is totally bogus. I don't believe one bit of it.

Can somebody that isn't a newbie with 2 posts confirm this? Then we can safely close this thread.

Unfortunately, I can't test it on my imac for obvious reasons.

We can close this one down, the dude at the vimeo link already found spotted how shoddily edited this thing was:

That's strange, there seems to be the fullscreen quicktime controls at the start of the video: imgur.com/SHj5k.png

You wouldn't happen to be replaying a composited video, would you? How shocking.

Dang, I should've noticed that. The 'XXX' fooled me, nice touch, the trickery's in the unexpected detail. Oh well, I guess we don't get to see any media/blog coverage of another Apple employee then like the one who lost his iPhone.
