Capture the Hog: BSOD Strikes The Bay

Oh, let's keep it this way!

Blue screen of death...LOL. Why wouldn't they turn off the illumination until they fix it?

J: During the day you can't tell.. maybe no one has told them! :-)

Now, if only we could get the ones in Dundas Square to follow suit... ;)

I actually once did catch the giant LG tower glitching out ... it was frozen with a pop-up window saying "Script error -- do you want to continue running scripts on this page?" It was delightful.

Somebody call Guinness! :P

They should have gotten a mac... then they could have had a kernal panic.

that is pretty funny.

w00t!

Is there a higher quality image somewhere?

Ben: The source is a 10megapixel jpg that I've not put online. Why?

ben probably wants to be able to read the error code so he can cold call the Bay and offer to fix their bad disk sector :P

ha!
Unfortunately, the original isn't readable anymore than this is. The "signs" aren't really signs. They are hanging string of lights that, from a far, can produce images. But they are too widely spaced to read text.

LOL. Thanks for the heads up, no one told me. I've fixed the problem.

What are the dimensions of these screens, does anyone know?

They are 2 storeys high, so, over 20 feet tall, and I'd suspect about 40' wide?

I saw a similar thing on one of the screens in Times Square once.

I love when those screens crash.
I love it more when it's not noticed by the person in charge of the screen for a while.

The better quality image would make for a great desktop image :)

If anyone wants it as a wallpaper image, let me know.

This reminds me of an error message I saw on an electronic billboard in New York York last October.

A wallpaper version of that would rock!

I wish I had seen them when it was like that. But unfortunately they are back to normal.

i'd like the original to use as wallpaper...
please?

I certainly would love to have a wallpaper version of that pic. :D

If this doesn't let that part of the world know that Macs are TRULY where it's at, then, I fear, not much more will.

which city is this? anywhere in canada i guess, reminds me a bit of victoria

uzuff - The TO in BlogTO is for Toronto.

I saw this the other night but didn't have my camera with me.

I remember watch something like that in the screen of Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. Actually I have one photo, but I don't had time to put its somewhere... LOL xD

looks like the file is ntfs.sys
