Be afraid, be very afraid. Macintosh virus caught on film (happy Halloween)

No, not really.

The guys at Apple retailer and repair shop BeamEcho in Toronto, Ontario, Canada decided to make a horror epic for the ages and came up with the ultimate nightmare: a Mac virus. Just in time for Halloween, TUAW presents their very scary film. The production values are just what you'd expect for a shooting budget of $6. Watch this one with lights on, kids...

Huh. So now we know why Apple killed the FireWire port on the MacBook...

(At least, that's what I think I saw the 12" PB using to possess that PM G5...)

Oh yeah, I loved the blood splatter on the MacBook box.

About BeamEcho/CPUsed - I don't have much of an opinion on their service, as I generally avoid contact with all salespeople unless I really have to, but I did find CPUsed's prices a little inflated compared to other places for things like memory and parts. They always had a good selection of Mac games though.

Funny video.

Why does it matter whether the store is good or not?

Well, Jimmy, why don't you declare your connection to Carbon. Why don't you Carbon people try and do business in an ethical way? What are you afraid of?

Not bad, creepy in fact. Love the Goblins/Suspiria soundtrack. Better watch out for those copyright lawyers though.

Being killed by a Mac Pro is a pretty legit way to die. Hell, that's how I want to die.
