Having fun with project managers! (or: why you should lock your desktop)

Read Original

This article describes a series of lighthearted, non-harmful IT pranks aimed at convincing a forgetful project manager to lock his computer. Techniques include setting a screenshot as the desktop background, sending fake 'treat' emails from his account, and editing the hosts file to redirect websites. It links to further prank software and solicits additional non-destructive suggestions.
