@TheGibson Early in my writing career at a moderately popular Apple news site (TUAW) I wrote about what I thought was a silly little piece of shareware that opened the CD drive on Mac towers.

Turns out it also ran a script that moved ALL your calendar events back by two weeks. Readers were not happy.

The person who made it never intended for it to get picked up in the news. They gave me a script readers could use to fix it all.
