A Christmas Easter Egg in iPhoto?
GodotJr writes "Early Christmas morning I downloaded some digital pictures into iPhoto on OS X 10.2.3. My trusty iBook began playing what sounded like a repeating Irish jig. I thought I had accidentally started iTunes, but no, only iPhoto was running. The 'jig' continued until I quit the application at which point a childs voice said something I didn't quite catch (!) and then a choir belted out 'Hallelujah!', once, and was silent. A restart of iPhoto did not get me an encore performance. Has anyone else experienced this?"
iPhoto includes some recordings of classical music that you can play over a slide show. That's what the About box is talking about.
I loaded pics into iPhoto yesterday, too, and nothing like this happened.
Between the fake Sony/Nintendo story from a few days ago, yesterday's fake iTunes/Ogg story, and this story, I'm starting to wonder if we're seeing a new form of trolling. Rather than posting silly comments, the trolls have started submitting silly stories.
And they're getting good at it.
I write in my journal
Well, honestly (and this is no troll) I hope you're right : because if you are, /. editors will perhaps finally be forced to READ the stories that are submitted, which is perhaps the best thing to happen here.
:-) so that the readers can give some feedback except thru trolling !
Lately I have the impression that the editors don't even read the submission itself, only the title ! I understand that there must perhaps be a zillion submissions every day, but comeon...
Taco : as much as an innovative moderation system was needed for comments as the userbase grew exponentionally, you also need to have a brilliant concept to moderate the editors (except you and Hemos offcourse
When will I end this grieving ? When will my future begin ?
iPhoto includes two .mp3s in it's bundle:
iPhoto/Contents/Resources/Music/Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring.mp3 (3 MB)
