Did you catch the blue screen of death in the Olympics opening ceremony?
The Olympics opening ceremony in China was spectacular. Every movement; every step was in perfect synchronization. However, there was one glitch, or shall we say, blue screen of death.
While Li Ning, a top China sport icon, was running in mid-air at the top of the indoor stadium, there were many projectors displaying multiple images in unison. One projector, running Windows, displayed a blue screen of death due to a hardware failure. So, instead of a nice fluid Olympic graphic being displayed, the familiar blue screen with white text was casted against one of the walls.
You would think that brand new computers would have been used for the event. As well as being fully tested and checked for any computer issues. Well, this goes to show you that you can never be fully prepared for when Windows disasters strikes.
