Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started

Use your Mac to detect supernatural activity this Halloween!
You knew your Mac could detect wireless networks and Bluetooth devices, but did you know it can also detect spirits? If you want to scan for supernatural activity, download an app called EMF6742, from the Department of the Supernatural. This little program uses your Mac's wireless hardware to scan for anomalies in electromagnetic fields, indicating nearby spirits. A higher number means a stronger anomaly in the EMF. System requirements include "Mac OS X 10.5 or later, a wide variety of superstitions and/or a sense of humor." Yes, unfortunately, EMF6742 is just a joke. Apparently, some people downloaded it without realizing this, though, so if you're looking for something to show your friends to put the "trick" in trick-or-treat, give it a look!

Wow!! An app to use a Mac to find spirits.... I wonder how much the source code would cost... Millions.!!?? I guess Apple should buy it and make the iSpiritCatcher... LOL..

By joke, you mean the number there is just random? Or does it depend on the strength of wireless signals detected or something?
Not that it would be of any use either way... haha

Detect supernatural activity with a mac? How about this: set up a mac. Observe it. If you see anyone doing code development or circuit simulation on it, then that's supernatural activity!!!!! (Sorry, I'll go wear my underwear on my head, now.)
