Times Square Display Crashes

For some reason, I really like putting equations in my titles...

Anyway, by way of Zoli Erdos, here's a nice high-profile crash for you:

Yep, that's Adobe Flash on Windows XP, just after it "encountered a problem and needs to close." I love it when stuff like this happens. Here's a nice closeup of the error dialog:

Who knew Windows was so funny? I know I'm linking to Zoli a lot lately, but seriously, where else would I get these amusing little gems now that This Is Broken has gone the way of the Dodo Bird?

  • Donate to Wikipedia!
    Yes, it's a shameless plug for money. A strange thing coming from me, but it supports one of the Web's greatest sites.
  • Get Firefox
    I'm sure you saw this one coming. You know what I want.
  • Use OpenDNS
    Set yourself up with OpenDNS, the fastest DNS service around! You can also set up shortcuts for frequently visited sites and filter content.
  • Pidgin IM
    Download the best multi-protocol IM client I've ever seen! So it crashes once in a while, but it's in active development, so they're definitely working on it. (And really, what program doesn't crash once in a while?)
  • No OOXML!
    Don't let Microsoft push through a redundant, broken standard for office files! Chaos and confusion could ensue!
  • This is just in case spam-bots visit this site. Click it to find out more (it only does bad things to email harvesters, don't worry).
  • blogarama - the blog directory
    Personal blogs & blog posts
    Blogged.com says I have to leave its badge here to claim ownership of this site. I can't take it off, apparently. Whatever. What would be nice is linking to my own site's page rather than generic "technology news" listings...
    blogarama and Blog Flux have similar, but implied, issues. And why does everyone link me to a generic listing page?!
