- lolReject, on 10/11/2007, -7/+115I would hook mine up to a very loud siren, flashing red lights, and one of those control panels that require two keys to be unlocked sequentially.
- retral, on 10/11/2007, -1/+85Why the hell is this such a big deal?
- fuzzmeister, on 10/11/2007, -2/+82Don't forget the launch codes.
- gertin, on 10/11/2007, -4/+82Fortunately most people don't use 95/98/ME anymore.

HAMMER TIME! - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+53Yea, it's a big red electrical momentary switch? Yawn? Move along.
- gtawh, on 10/11/2007, -1/+49NO WHAMMIES
- Riggs54, on 10/11/2007, -3/+50+Digg if you could set this to bring up the task manager!
- postitnote, on 10/11/2007, -3/+49You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor... and would have different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO.

http://www.lifelaboratory.com/ultimate-pc-reset-button - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+35Hey Dexter! What does this button do?
- Xinareiaz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+34I guess someone hit the "Ultimate Reset Button" on the server eh?
- wonkavsn, on 10/11/2007, -3/+34Big red buttons should only be reserved for the initiation of self destruct sequences involving a counting down by some female British voice.

As David Bradley, a designer of the original IBM PC said "I may have invented Control-Alt-Delete, but Bill Gates made it famous". Actually before Windows went mainstream computers had fairly small reset buttons, but with the advent of Windows came the practise of frequent resetting. Of course there was Ctrl + Alt + Del combo but for the dreaded Kernel 32 error for Windows 98 you have no option but to bend down and find the puny reset button. Putting an end to the misery is this reset button which looks more like a mushroom straight from Mario land. Connection is very simple as it uses just two wires. The best part is when you have lost your cool with the blue screen of death, just hit the button with your fist to reboot.

There are few things that annoy me more than the current trend of putting that phrase in articles. - Dunadan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+24Would one of those reset buttons help this server get up running again?
- PickledJesus, on 10/11/2007, -1/+21I'd hit that.
- illegalamigo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+21"After the jump" means after the break in the site content usually reserved for an advertisement.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/11/2007, -4/+21*****. Wrong story, sorry..

Wanna good story? I was in the Mac store about a year ago considering a MacBook Pro and the arrogant lady comes up to show me ALL THE AWESOME FEATURES. When she opened Safari, it froze. It just STRAIGHT UP froze (no ***** either). She just kinda laughed closed it and then tried to show me the notebook next to it. - darkzealot89, on 10/11/2007, -4/+17Sir we have an outstanding launch order, turn your key sir!
- DeathBorn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to DIE!

Interesting.
* My 386 running Dos 5 had three buttons, Power, Reset, and Turbo. They were all exactly the same size.
* My Celeron 433 running Win98 (Gateway) had two buttons, Power and Reset. The power button was prominant. The reset button was recessed and about half the size of the power.
* My P4 2.4GHz running XP had two buttons, Power and Reset. The power button was prominant. The reset button was a little mosquito bite.
* My PM 1.4GHz laptop running XP has only a Power button.
So my observations are the reverse. - Cyber_Akuma, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Could one modify it into a "buried as lame" button?
- monsterenergy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11wait, 'only two wires' but thers like 8 in the third pic... pfft my ass
- jrbrewin, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8"for the dreaded Kernel 32 error for Windows 98 you have no option but to bend down and find the puny reset button"
incase you hadn't noticed, we've moved on somewhat since 98.
xp on my mac book pro crashes far less than osx does.. in fact, it hasn't locked up, blue screened, or reset itself in the entire time i've been using it. And no, i'm not using osx primarily. - estvir, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5You have no sense of humour, do you ?
- meshman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5"The best part is when you have lost your cool with the blue screen of death, just hit the button with your fist to reboot."
It's been almost 10 years since I've seen a genuine BSOD and it's usually the hardware. - *jooloop*, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I belive you meant staples stores...
- superKduper, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I can't remember the last time I hit the reset on my PC. My mac's another story.
You have been duped by the Macintosh Homosexual Propaganda machine yet again. - tiberone, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5The Ultimate Reset Button? Hardly.
The Ultimate Block Button? I think so.
Watch out, digg. - Sil369, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Looks Fisher-Pricey.
- unknamed, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Did it ever occur to you that the reason Windows appears to have more issues is because it gets used so much more often than OSX?
If your Windows machine (talking XP and Vista here) is blue screening you don't need a reset button, you need to uninstall whatever it is you just installed because 99% of all BSOD in XP are either a broken hardware driver of some crap software. I've been running the same XP Pro install for two years now and it nevers blue screens. Ever.
Oh, BTW I tried telling a lady that called yesterday that she must be mistaken when she told me her Mac kept freezing up when she opened her email program because "Macs don't lock up" ...but she didn't buy it. - ChrisfromNL, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Yea, that looks EXACTLY like a Mario mushroom, straight from the game eh?
- JorgeGT, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Only if the abortion message is "Self-destruction aborted. Have a nice day."
The "have a nice day" part is *crucial* here. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+25 minutes after you leave the computer unattended:
Your child comes along with a Mario mallet and smashes the button. - desistere, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5A true breakthrough... I can't wait until modders adapt it for online Family Feud play.
- mrsneakypat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Bah, you beat me to it.
- jull1234, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2If you need this, you're doing something really wrong.
- greenspans, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Ultimate linkjack from hhttp://www.lifelaboratory.com/ultimate-pc-reset-button
- tb0n3r, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Yes, because OSX *never* crashes, *never* has any problems, and is *perfect* in every way. It's so perfect, there isn't even an Apple Technical Support line. Please.
Another alternative to get rid of blue screens: don't be an idiot. Install AV software and firewall software (if a hardware firewall isn't available. NATing gateways don't count as firewalls) and keep them updated, keep the windows patches up-to-date, don't muck around with drivers if everything is working fine, use alternate browsers and email readers (with fewer, or at least lesser known, exploits). Using these methods, I haven't seen a blue screen in years on my home machine. - Evolve, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Would be a better story if it was about the keyboard.
What make/model is that? - crashflow, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1what do you mean? its right in the middle of my desk. so, in the actually rare event i have to reset my pc, i can do so without having to get up bend over and press a tiny lil button. now that's convenien....oops
*crashflow is now offline.. - h0dg3s, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Marked as innacurate. Looks nothing like a Mario mushroom. Evidence http://www.pippoburro.com/mailart/images/gallery/sent/jollyroger/ice/mario_mushroom.jpg
- Icklehamsta, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2nhprm, practice and practise are different things. I think the article is right.
- withoutashovel, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2i think its the new usb 2.0 easy button only found in office depot stores
- VicTheKnife, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Should replace the button with the "easy" button from staples. Very cool though.
- slapthemonkey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"Ultimate Reset Button" on the server would be helpful
