Newton Virus is the first art virus by Troika. In the beginning were harmless computer viruses. Viruses born out of the wit of early computer adopters, viruses whose sole purpose was to surprise and amuse. A non-destructive form of artificial life. We wanted to revive this golden era, and went on to create our first computer virus. We chose to do it for mac as the platform is still a virgin territory ;-) Spice up your colleagues' day with our Newton Virus, the first virus to introduce gravity to your laptop, causing the desktop icons to fall down as if subject to the gravitational pull from the real world. Newton Virus comes on a USB key for manual infection. Simply plug the key into a computer and the virus will automatically copy itself on the hard drive. The virus will then hit at random, but only once. It will not replicate itself, mail itself to your friends or destroy any of your files, but instead provides you with moments of blissful surprise and magic. More»

I hear this is a fake
since it is impossible to download the virus off a USB card just by inserting it and then removing it.

- also think it's fake..
  ..cause there is no device for gravity inside a notebook. It doesn't now where is up or down.

- well
  there is an antishock sumthing or other inside macbooks that can detect acceleration and motion. I believe this "virus" has some how hacked into that and uses its i/o-put to create the effects graphically. that is probably why the desktop reacts slowly in the video. I have seen this exact same video with comments trying to explain this i just don't remember what was said precisely. maybe look it up in youtube.but for a virus to download itself just by attaching a usb device without opening the drive is farfetch,
