hahaha! When I went to stream a news feed this morning VLC had a festive little Santa hat on the orange cone! Never noticed that yesterday.

I remember this happening to me a few years ago. Thought I had a virus lol.

Boy it sure does don't it.

think the videolan people have been doing this for at least few years, at least, from what I remember seeing the hat.

Yep, this has been an "Easter egg" within the program for several years. The Santa hat makes an appearance one week before Christmas and usually lasts until one week after Christmas.

You can disable the hat, if you wish.

Cute. But, it does make one wonder how vulnerable their PC is.
