One of the images of the computer malfunction that appears on the gizmodo website

I used to work for Microsoft and people in the company would keep track of big blunders between us and the others. Catching an oracle error on the airport ‘Departures’ screen would merit a picture which would hit half the company mailboxes.
This has the be the biggest and best bluescreen ever.
