Knock knock.

Who's there?

Panther.

Panther who?

Panther, no pan! I'm going swimming.

Thank you, thank you. Welcome to Up All Night! I'm a knight. I'm a horse. Nay!

We've got a great show for you today. Topic number one: games and apples. Apples don't come with very many games loaded on them, or do they?

Try this: open up Terminal, Applications, Utilities, Terminal. Type in emac, press enter, hold down escape, and press X. Then type in Tetris. Boom! You can also type in Pong, Solitaire, and Uncharted 2.

Meow, just kidding. Nay!

But don't worry. If you ever see someone playing EMAC Tetris and you fear they may beat your high score, simply run over to their computer and hold down Command, Option, Eject. Their computer will go to sleep in a matter of seconds.

And even though it's just asleep and no data is lost, for all they know, you completely bricked it.

The next time you're at a page where text is masked, like the way passwords are, copy and paste code number one from this video's description into your browser's URL bar and press enter. As soon as you do that, all masked text will become unmasked and everything put into that text field from now on will be visible.

Copy code number two from this video's description and paste it into a text editor like Notepad. Then save the document as a VBS file. Put it right on the desktop. By opening this file, you will cause a never-ending dialogue box to appear. The secret to stopping it is to press Control, Alt, Delete, and end the process WScript.

But come on, we can do better than that.

Copy code number three from this video's description and paste it into a text editor like Notepad. Save the file as a VBS. Right-click on the file and create a shortcut on your desktop. Now, let's have a little bit of fun with people who use Internet Explorer.

Rename and change the icon so that the shortcut looks like Internet Explorer. But here's the trick: when the icon is double-clicked, sure enough, Internet Explorer launches. But what your victim doesn't know is that every 8 seconds, his or her computer is going to type the phrase "I eat donkey balls," whether they're searching for Bieber wallpapers or emailing their poor sweet grandmother.

Every 8 seconds, against their will: "I eat donkey balls." Boom!

Right there. And finally, let's end with the YouTube Easter egg. Some of you may have already known this, but if you pause a YouTube video and then use the arrow keys left and right to go back and forth and force the video to buffer, you can break the spinning buffer balls and play a little game of worm.

Before we go, is the most important part of the show. Here are three links to check out, even if they keep you up all night.

First, good old Jeff from Wacky Gamer gives us an Oldum tour in the Cataclysm Beta.

And if you haven't seen it yet, Danielle from over at Trade Chat put together a fantastic list of pop culture references in WoW.

And finally, a teaser: check Vsauce next week for a special cameo from The Wing Girls.

Ponies are small versions of meme.
