CyberNotes
Fun Friday


Today’s Funny Friday just proves how popular Windows is. It’s everywhere, and when something goes wrong with Windows, it’s not to hard to spot. Today’s article is a collection of images people have captured when they spotted the infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) while they were out and about. Where in the world is the blue screen of death?

    Very funny pictures, but the Times Square one is not fair. That’s a BIOS screen, not a Windows crash.

    The Beijing Olympics one is by far the best. Very funny. I hope that one gets circulated round some more.

    I didn’t even notice until you pointed it out. Whoops! :)

    I guess it’s because of things like this that XP automatically reboots after a BSOD :)

    The BIOS screen is puzzling. How did the computer reach there? :?

    I took a photo of a BSOD at the airport much like the one in this post too :) That was at Schiphol (Amsterdam) Airport.

    Maybe Microsoft causes the BSOD’s on purpose for exactly that reason. To keep people in jobs :lol: (Just kidding)

    You know why you don’t see any linux errors out there??

    Because no one uses it.

    Say what you want about Windows, but this just proves it’s everywhere.

    Not a blue screen and not a bios screen I’m afraid. That there is a boot menu :)

    All those who defend Windows: out of the gene pool…NOW you pathetic technophobes :)

    Yeah, tell BMW that their Linux systems are *inferior* to Windows. Or tell that to the scientists who run the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Or tell it to Ernie Ball or Welch Foods. Oh yeah, don’t forget to tell that to the owners of the vast majority of servers that run the internet. Tell that to Japan’s government, or the Swedish or Swiss governments. Tell that to the Library of Congress… Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, the Department of Energy, the Venezuelan Government, and US Nuclear subs. Go ahead. I dare ya.

    Defending Windows is an automatic fail – an atrocious “techfoul.” It’s like being brainwashed by someone who takes your money — then you’re too lazy to grab it back.

    I guess whatever the easiest bandwagon to jump on is will be the one with the most people on it, huh?

    **NOTE**
    (BTW, I’m not really trolling here. Just doing a little light-hearted razzing. I am actually using Windows as I myself! However, I DO attest to the superiority of Linux)

    —”actually using Windows as I myself!”—

    I meant: “actually using Windows myself!”

    D’oh!
