I bet a 386 running Win 95. - CraigJ, on 10/12/2007, -9/+195whats a floppy drive?
- 5m0k3, on 10/12/2007, -16/+191Quit lying to yourself, 3.5" floppy? We all know you're just upset because it's really a 3.5" hard.
- Erasmus354, on 10/12/2007, -10/+178I wonder what the specs are on the machine that runs that display...
- mitrovarr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+117Considering that it's showing the BIOS menu (as opposed to say, a BSOD) I suspect that this is a hardware problem, and the operating system is probably not relevant.
- Vibratic, on 10/12/2007, -5/+80You forgot to replace the S in Microsoft with a $. That's what all the cool kids do nowadays.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -57/+122No, he's not. Macs are bad as 24/7/365 servers. They should have used Linux/UNIX/BSD etc.
You obviously know nothing about system administration. - lucid270, on 10/12/2007, -1/+60don't see anything showing it was running windows...

I understand this may not have been within their power at the time, but shutting down the displays before F-ing with the pc that runs all this would make more sense. - gamer31, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37That's what they want you to think...
- Koray, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32Hey guys, BIOS != BSOD.
- Jozer99, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32Because industrial designers want to keep their jobs. Which sounds better:
"You should make a dynamic, organically shaped screen full of exciting shapes that convey passion to potential customers. Now give me my $50,000 consulting fee."
or
"You should make a square screen, dumb@$$. Now give me my $50,000 consulting fee." - skidogallard, on 10/12/2007, -3/+34@ zdiggler
Please come to the realization that Mac is not an Acronym - TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+29It's not a problem; it needs to know which device to boot from
- jeromey11, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28the guy was trying to install windows xp getting the boot order to CD-ROM so he could play some call of duty 2 on that huge ass monitor! its understandable.
- grat2001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24Too bad this didn't happen for Y2K!
- forchilli, on 10/12/2007, -5/+27if it was photoshop im sure they woud have centered the bios screen.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23It's that 1 inch vestige between your legs
- lozaning, on 10/12/2007, -5/+23im so ***** tired of all this "should have used a mac" and "thats why we run linux" *****. for all we know they swapped a hard rive and changed the boot settings. who is to say the damn thing ever broke, why couldn't this be planed maintenance.
- shooby, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21I honestly don't see how this can make someone's day. Though funny, not really a day-maker.
Now waffles on the other hand... - D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17that is a BIOS screen, not a Blue Screen of Death...
- NtHammer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20it wasnt an error screen, they were just in the bios, who knows why.
as far as you know they could be using windows OR linux (idk if a bios on a mac looks different or not) - cdmarcus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18MAC _is_ an acronym, but it means something completely different.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18I've always wondered why that Coke advertisement above it has the weirdly-shaped screen - it almost makes it look severely cracked. Does anyone know why it was made this way?
- robdazomba, on 10/12/2007, -8/+22> What? what if that stupid MAC got a Bad video card for hdd went kaput?

> Don't tell me that there is never a Hardware problem in MAC, Linux or what ever!!
I spent a good 10 years of my life in IS/tech support for a couple of mixed platform companies and I can tell you that, from my experiences, the Macs are generally made from better parts and components than a similar PC. I'm not slamming PCs (hell, they're a good chunk of my livelihood) but Macs have a far lower rate of failure than a PC with similar specs. Apple charges more for their boxes because, I suspect, they're using better quality rated components while the commodity box makers are vying for the lowest price they can get out of a component manufacturer (which sometimes means getting second tier RAM and hard drives and whatnot.)
BTW, if you think I'm just pulling this out of my ass, check out Consumer Reports or any number of objective sources on this. Macs have significantly fewer hardware failures than PCs. So, you're right. Macs have hardware problems but not nearly as often as PCs. Don't get defensive about it. It's just the truth.
(Incidentally, MAC is an acronym for media access control. Mac is the name of the computer you're trying to refer to. It would help to know how to spell the platform in question before attempting to criticize it.) - daverp, on 10/12/2007, -18/+31Let's all blame Microsoft.

An actual BSOD in Times Square - gwalbridge, on 10/12/2007, -7/+19Why are you capitalizing "Mac"
??
Edit: skidogallard beat me to it. - Dotcommer, on 10/12/2007, -7/+18@konspence
Shut the ***** up you RETARDED MONKEY.
I want to make sure that you fully understand that you are not funny. And spewing that over-used line is worthless and makes you look like a douche bag.
Please shove an umbrella up your ass and open it. - linuts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11@CaptHowdy
read the summary again - antdude, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11It said BIOS, not BSOD
- nbcivic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11......chocolate chip waffles you mean.......
- BlackAdderIII, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16"iamcitizen, OS X is built on Unix."
I think iamcitizen is probably well aware of OS X's sort-of-unix nature, as are most of us.
That doesn't really change the validity of what he said, to be honest.
Don't get me wrong, you can put together a perfectly *passable* OS X server for all-day-all-year-long tasks, but it's not what anyone would call ideal.
:-) - sleepwalkers, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Chances are we don't care that you logged in to Digg this, or that it made your day. Why the hell do so many people insist on posting the most asinine comments ever?
"lol"
"will it blend?"
"M$ sucks"
"Apple sux"
I mean, come on. Do people just WANT to clog up the comments and post something that is neither enlightening or funny? - cnowacek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9What does that have to do with anything? does the Mac bios screen play the advertising content that the large displays are supposed to show? The point is that the advertisements weren't shown, it's a BIOS configuration screen... OOOOOOOOOH NOOOO!
- TheG2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10We use Macs as servers here all the time and they have great reliability. It makes a fine server platform. Hell anything that is stable makes a fine server.
- turpenine, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13xserve people. xserve.
- shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Wait I thought we were supposed to blame canada.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I'd like to see you display an animation otherwise.
That'd be like, the world's LARGEST MECHANICAL FLIPBOOK. You could also use oldschool projectors, but nobody has one that big. - Slog, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Wow. Way for everybody to turn a picture of a BIOS screen into YET ANOTHER Mac vs. Windows vs. Linux vs. whatever debate.
Morons. - CaptHowdy, on 10/12/2007, -14/+22This looks more like a boot menu to me than a BSOD.
- Rekutyn, on 10/12/2007, -13/+21Re: iamcitizen
Offtopic, but:
Mac OS X is UNIX/BSD so it makes a fine 24x7x365 server. Why don't you give your tripe advice to one of the many universities around the globe who use Macs in clustered server environments?
As much as I LOVE FreeBSD, Mac OS X is a splendid OS. - trogdoor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7For all we know it was.
- Gatesophile, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9IT IS NOT A BSOD!!!!
*rips hair out* - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Except Macs don't use BIOS.
