A trojan horse is like three card monte, you only lose if you play. A trojan horse is like a vampire who has to ask permission to come in. A trojan horse is like the trojan horse, using social engineering where normal engineering failed. A malicious web link or misrepresented software download has to gain the attention of the user in order to gain control of the machine. It is not a security issue. Any operating system is vulnerable to the ignorance of the user, be it through malicious intent or innocent mistake. An operating system that does not let you make mistakes, like iPhone, causes an outcry in a wholly different direction and incites people to jailbreak the device specifically so it is vulnerable to their whims.

The way I learned the rotating both fingers clockwise thing was to have them pointing at each other. Imagine there is a ball in front of you, and put both index finger on top of the ball. Now rotate your fingers around the ball in opposite directions, so they cross at top and bottom. Once you master that, try transitioning to airplane propellers, where both fingers are rotating clockwise and pointing forward. Anyone can do one or the other with a little practice, but not everyone can learn to transition smoothly.

I have always been able to do the ring finger thing. I learned it as making a steeple with all first knuckles touching but the ring fingers up, then try to separate the ring fingers.

I have 2 impossible things, that I can do, involving the pinky. The first is to make a tight fist around your pinky, without bending it. My hand folds over so the pinky is crosses the base of the other fingers. I use this to do a much better variation of the pulling off your thumb trick.

The second looks like braiding your fingers. Some people can fold their pinky up over the ring finger, then the ring finger up over the middle, and so on. I can go the other way, folding the pinky down the side of my hand, then the ring finger over the pinky, then the middle and index fingers.

I guess I should post a video. Thank you for the inspiration and other nifty tricks.
