April Fool in July
An April Fool’s Day joke from three years ago is still managing to fool some people. Web Worker Daily places ScreenCleanerPro in a list of four free offbeat apps for Mac. The program supposedly works in the background, bringing your worn out monitor back to its original brightness. What it really does, after doing nothing for awhile, is dim your screen so that a big ol’ rag can swipe back and forth to “clean” it off. It’s a great joke, and you can still get it from Ambrosia. Macworld even joined in the fun with a review, and judging by the comments some people still didn’t understand that it was a joke.
