Arrr matey! If it be torrents ye want, look no further than Apple! Jobs & Co. are now supposedly working on an OS X-only Bit Torrent client called iPirate. Still in alpha testing, we obtained this screenshot from an internal Apple employee and we like what we see. Some of the rumored features include built-in private tracker search, Pirate Bay and Mininova RSS feeds, bandwidth limiting, automatic RIAA and MPAA detection to ensure your torrent isn’t bugged (damn those public trackers!), and a beautiful aqua-based UI that won’t lag like Azureus.
No word yet on when Apple is releasing iPirate, but if my cards are right, expect to see iPirate included with OS X Leopard by the end of the year.
LOL
ya had me goin there
Nice… they should be so hip!
wow, i was trying to believe how that was possible. Then I realized that it was a LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously? They had you going???
Every year these Mac website goofs try to come up with a funny story and every year they all suck and are not believable.
The point of April Fool’s Day is to FOOL someone, not make up completely unrealistic stories that no one could possibly believe…or even almost believe.
Can’t wait until next year’s crop of crap.
I hate April Fools Day
my apartment complex blocked all download sites such as limewire and any kind of torrents. i don’t know what to do anymore..
