English term or phrase: pranking the Pope
On pranking the Pope:
Jobs recounts the "Blue Box" that he built with Steve Wozniak - a device that allowed people to effectively hack the phone company and make long distance calls for free.
The device has been widely written about before, but Jobs' euphoria here in describing the Blue Box as an act of empowerment is infectious.
He describes how he and Wozniak would test the box by using a pay phone, placing a call, and then connecting from one AT&T network to another while looping in as many satellites as possible.

Deze tekst gaat over Steve Jobs.
Ik denk dat 'pranking the Pope' een gezegde is. Bestaat er hier een goede vertalign voor?

De paus een loer draaien
Explanation:
Of iets als "over zijn pausgrap". Het is in elk geval geen uitdrukking. In het onderstaande artikel beschrijft Wozniak de mop in detail. Hij gaf zich aan de telefoon uit als Henry Kissinger.
