- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+71I love the one scrolling across the buildings, haha.
- MagicBobert, on 10/12/2007, -11/+48Some of those look photoshopped.
- markjaycups, on 10/12/2007, -4/+31the one in "new york city" isn't new york city. if you take a second to look, none of those cars are even sold in the U.S., they all have european plates, and there's even a different language written on everything. and the "famous windows 95" one was actually windows 98, when they were demonstrating the plug and play capabilities of windows 98.
- ntufar, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22Picture 10 is not really Windows 1.0 blue screen of death. It is just random data printed on screen.
- SCAdvanced, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15The one claiming to be from New York is obviously not from New York. There are European cars and license plates on every vehicle.
- jhshukla, on 10/12/2007, -12/+23Scrolling across the building (Fidelity) is fake. we can clearly read "w1indows" instead of "Windows"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+17Photoshops are not diggworthy unless noted as photoshops. Dugg down.
- sjons, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10This Bill Gates win 95/98 is my favorite!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rXWr6Ezax4
- meznak, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16Knock it off, please. The whole "referrer tags are magic!" post thing is getting as old as "dupe!"
Not all of us are able to rely on that method (Thunderbird, other aggregators, etc). We appreciate the full link. - EvilTesdall, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13those are not the best prictures...just the only ones he could find to put together such a ***** page.
- cursivearmySC, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11#2 is deff. not NYC if you look at the cars
- bacomage1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10@Ireland
that's probably because it looks incredibly fake... - mrvalue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Actually, the font in XP/NT BSOD's is Lucida Console. Look it up: that is the correct rendering of "i" in that font; it is not a 1.

I do agree though, that image does look a little fake, but it seems to be everyone's assumption these days about photos they have doubts about even though the image may very well be legitimate. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7He forgot this one aboard the Enterprise:
http://www.rick-strom.com/?q=node/12 - PrestonM, on 10/12/2007, -6/+12I caught a good one on channel 4 one day. Here is the Blue Screen of Death in HD!
http://prestonm.textamerica.com/?r=425322 - orlyyarly, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9The Blue Screen of Death on that iMac is a widget.

There's another one floating around somewhere that I can't find right now. - romman00, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7what kind of context do you need? it was a picture taken from channel 4 on his hdtv. seems like plenty of context to me.
- coldshuts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6omg kernel panic at the disco!
- mancat, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10We get one of these links every week. Honestly, I'd be more interested in finding out if someone has a photo archive of different Unix kernel panics over the years.
- LiquidPenguin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6The best BSoD I ever had.
During my Win98 years, I used to write in Visual Basic. I was writting a compression program and I needed to access a then obscure DLL for some crucial functions for speed purposes. In order to access some of these functions, I had to go through some convoluted memory management. During the debugging stage, I destabilized the entire system. First, my program crashed, which brought down the IDE, which borked the video graphics, which eventually collapsed the entire operating system. In the end, I was left with nothing more than a blinking cursor and blue screen. No error message whatsoever. I had to do a hard reboot to get everything working again. - arizonagroove, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Why top 10, why not just 10?
- luchid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6It's not a subway, it's a train here in Argentina! I actually take that to get to school everyday. Pretty nice, has LCD screens for TV/ads, AC, and is quite fast. :)
- mecole21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I want a BSoD screensaver... I could have some fun with it...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I got one one with with the stop code 0xDEADFAC3. No *****.
- awhiteflame, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5press the power button?
- StephenCIreland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3yeah, i had a great one, i was in LAX Airport and upstars there was a little cafe and it had a plasma tv on the wall but it was an extended desktop off a windows xp machine, but heres one thing, never look at pr0n at work and drag a window when you have a plasma tv attached.
- griz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Look around you, the whole world is photoshopped.
- sjbdallas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I was at a hotel in boston last week where their pay-per-view channel is apparently running on a windows box. Every day when i turned the TV on, there was a different error. Some days it was keyboard, other days it was a missing a mouse, finally it was just a generic fault of some kind. Never a BSoD but still pretty funny.
I was tempted to go ask the front desk if they wanted me to fix their server. - kwai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I remember seeing a article once about astronauts. There was a picture of one of them in space (can't remember if it was a shuttle or station) and behind him was a laptop with BSOD on the screen.
My google foo was not strong enough to find the pic online though. - Gondar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I hope Longhorn/Vista has a sexy bluescreen to accompany the new sleek ui...
- aquax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Heh, the Mac ones were pretty weak. Almost all the Windows ones were in public places, while the Macs just look like it happened on someone's desk.
If I were to write the article, I'd throw in a few Apple kernel panics, especially the ugly ones from 10.1/10.2. - Sparks123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Nice.........
- daprice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I was at a gas station recently where the pump had a Windows screen to show you ads while waiting for the tank to fill up. Unfortunately the critical pump functions were also run by the same Windows system. I ran my credit card through the reader, and it then sat there and crashed to a typical blue screen with some kind of out-of-memory error. Then a hardware watchdog reboot occured, it came up, and then spontaneously crashed again. I had to move to another pump.
- dissident, on 10/12/2007, -7/+9I've seen them a few times at our local BP amoco station that was just built in the last year. It has video monitors that broadcast commercials every time someone uses the pump.
I've seen it blue screen a couple times, other times I've seen it just sitting on the desktop with all the default xp stuff you'd expect. - jhshukla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2unfortunately McAfee detects it as a "joke program" and spoils the fun.
- CingleMolt, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8I disagree. It looks like a courier i to me.
- fartingbob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ive seen BSOD at my local train station, apparently public transportation is a hot spot of BSOD attacks!
- jhshukla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Once I got 0xBAADF00D
- liuite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2speaking of bsod screensaver...the first screensaver I made as an IT technician was a "Check Signal Cable" screensaver...you know, the RGB screen you see if your vga cable was not connected.
- abid786, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1We actually have them at Esso gas stations here in Toronto also. They are VERY annoying, especially in the winter when it is 35 below zero, and you don't want to hear "Everything you need and more only at Esso!" while you are filling up.
- vlurk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Man, I hope I live long enough to see that myself. :)
- lemcoe9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh my snap, the one in NYC is clearly photoshopped.
- anthony0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2What's really scary is how many public places are using Windows 95/98 as their OS. The freak'n airport??? Now that is scary.
- ferzkopp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I made a BSOD-spoof-Screensaver autoinstaller for CD-ROMs ... put it on a CD and place it in the office in a place such that people will put it into their PC. Enjoy!
http://www.ferzkopp.net/joomla/content/view/6/14/ - Farkle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sigh...I miss all of the old Guru Meditations on local stations!
(think Amiga) - mediaphile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1bsod's are not uncommon at the arcade in sony's metreon in san francisco.
it's funny to see a big motorcycle game try to boot up windows 2000 and get stuck in a bsod loop. - mediaphile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1well if you saw it elsewhere, then of course it's not fake, since as we all know, if you see or hear something from more than one source it's automagically true.
- vlurk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well, it is also possible to change the kernel panic screen to make it looks exactly like a BSOD. You can get more information to do that here: http://osxbook.com/book/bonus/chapter5/panic/
- coreyb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The Fidelity one is real. Look at the large image and you will notice the reflection distorted properly on the windshield of the cabbie. Also, I somewhat remember seeing it on the news a bit less than a decade ago.
- theone3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I saw a linux schedule display screen die on the public transport system in Australia. I didn't know whether to be proud that we use linux, or sad that it failed.
