Blue Screen of Death available in belt form

Behold the Blue Screen of Death belt! Is the Blue Screen of Death still hysterically funny to everybody? Whatever the case, it looks like BSOD humor hasn’t completely faded out yet even though critical system errors seem to be less and less common nowadays. → Read More

Gallery of public blue screens of death

Week dragging on? Can’t wait until Friday? This soothing gallery of BSODs in public and unexpected places should ease your suffering. The funny thing is that although these can be taken as signalizing a fundamental instability in Windows, I think of them more as a sign of the ubiquity of Microsoft products and computing in general. It’s a sign of the times, however you want to… → Read More

Check out this image from Cupertino’s newest OS, Leopard. Looks like it popped up when the user tried to connect to a Windows share. Can you spot the funny? We can only imagine the stifled giggles that were brought on by this screen shot. Windows share as seen by Mac OS X Leopard [via Digg] → Read More

Spiderman Gets BSOD

Poor Spidey. All he wanted to do is use his computer in this Megabloks set. But unfortunately, when he went to open Word 98, he got the infamous blue screen of death. Perhaps if Spiderman had chosen a more reliable OS for his supercomputers, such as Linux or OS X, he’d be able to get his computer working so he can go kick Venom’s ass. But alas, he’s stuck trying to pull off a… → Read More
