Nowhere and everywhere
I wrote a small prank for april fools that I thought I might share with you guys.

What does it do?
1 shows a dialog with file names of stuff in your documents folder, desktop folder, and application folder and says it's deleting but it's not really.
2 shows a kernel panic.
3 Looks like your computer rebooted.
4 Shows the windows loading screen and takes a while on it as it does on windows it self.
5 Shows the windows desktop that's so famous.
6 Pops up a fake IE that is really webkit with a themed window that Rick Roll's you.
7 Once you close the IE window it quits.

I two versions. one that has a video recorder on it, and one that doesn't.

http://mrgeckosmedia.com/iTunesShake.zip (This one has the video recorder)
http://mrgeckosmedia.com/iTunesShake.app.zip (This one doesn't)

You can customize where it uploads the video that was recorded with these instructions.
1 Download the uploader http://mrgeckosmedia.com/uploadedFiles.zip
2 Upload to your own server and set the folder permissions to 777.
3 right click on the application, choose show package contents, go into the folder Contents and open info.plist.
4 Edit the videouploadurl entry and put in the url to your server.
5 Save and share with friends on aim or what ever.

Remember I'm not responsible for your actions.

Hope you enjoy this harmless prank,
Mr. Gecko
