After-AFD Pranks Are Even Crueler/Funnier

A day late, but one of the many things you can do with your friends who use a Mac is to figure out your mark's favorite Internet browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox), use Command I, click on the icon in the box, Command C, and close it.

Then quickly navigate to /Applications/Utilties/AppleScript Editor and then copy and paste this:

tell application "Finder"
shut down
end tell


Save it as an Application and name it the same name as the Internet browser. Then use Command I again, click on the icon, and Command V the new icon into the script. Drag the Internet browser off the Dock at the bottom of the screen (provided it isn't already up) and swap in your new fake application.

Old Mac hands should know this one, but it's great fun to those who use a Mac because it's cool and have never mucked around the Utilities. I know I have friends like this. Anyway, use it before they figure out what you're up to. Sit back and watch the fun!
