USB CapsLocker Is Pure Punishment For Data Entry Clerks
This USB CapsLocker is slightly less cruel than the phantom keystroker, but the base idea is the same. Plug the USB device into one of the back ports of someone's computer and it will randomly hit the caps lock key at intervals between 30 seconds to eight minutes. The best part is how cheap and relatively easy it is to make, meaning that you can replace the ones you lose after your victims discover and break the old ones. [Macetech via Everything USB]

How to Make All of the Phones in Your Office Ring Simultaneously (and Get Away With It)
The guys at Maximum PC have put together a hack using Skype that will allow you to make all of the phones in your office ring simultaneously—and the best part is that you will be able to keep your job when all is said and done. All you need to do in order to pull off this prank is $10 sitting in your Skype account and the time necessary to gather up phone numbers and set up a conference call. Then just start the call and watch the chaos ensue. More »

Giant HTC is Just a Joke, Just Like We Thought
So it turns out that the huge HTC Magnum actually is, of course, a prank cooked up by the guys at Pocketpt in Portugal as a Carnival stunt. Built from an HTC X7500 and a boring old HP monitor, it seems it got a lot more attention on the intertubes than originally intended. [Pocketlint]

FoneJacker: Naughty Tech Support Prank (NSFW)
Fonejacker, or Kayvan Novak, has a new entry in his prank call series where he prank-calls a tech support line to try to figure out how to play back a video that may or may not be naughty. He uses a Mac Genius as a stand- in this time, and one of our readers tells us that he actually knows who the guy is and showed him the video. For more, see his previous videos. [FoneJacker]

Fonejacker Prank Calls A UK Electronics Store
Kayvan Novak probably isn't a name you're too familiar with. If you recognized the name as the guy who played Arash in the film Syriana, stop reading this post and go try out for Jeopardy or something. For those of you still here, Kayvan has a new series kicking off in the UK called Fonejacker, a run-of-the-mill prank-call show that looks like it may rise above its failed predecessors (think Comedy Central's "Crank Yankers"). In this clip, he plays a linguistically challenged foreigner trying to buy some electronics, most notably a "Joovcuh Doovdé player" and a "Joovcuh Lookada Tuv." Don't get it? You will.

Sega's Horror Summer Toilet Roll
I love Sega. But we all know that most Sega hardware will eventually be shit canned. Sorry, Dreamcast.Brilliant, than that Sega Japan is launching the prank toilet paper holder market with this electronic TP-core.
Horror Summer Toilet Roll spins as you make a grab for the three ply quilted, triggering loud shouts and explosions. I presume in Japanese. Which makes it about 10x as funny. But only the first time around. More »
