Blue Screen of Death Strikes Bird's Nest During Opening Ceremonies Torch
Lighting

,----[ Quote ]
| Well this is just perfect. At the exact moment Li Ning was rounding the lip 
| of the Bird's Nest during the amazing torch-lighting climax, someone snapped 
| this photo of our good friend the BSOD nestled amongst the Nest's steel 
| twigs. Perhaps an Opening Cermonies IT dude spit out his coffee on the 
| machines in the server room when Li took to the sky? Another question is what 
| a projection screen is doing inside the Nest at that location, but I think 
| the better question is what wasn't going on inside the Nest's roof—did you 
| see that thing during the ceremonies? Lights! Fireworks! LED screens! 
| Everything! Anyway, if only one image of this perfectness existed we'd be 
| skeptical, but thankfully, someone has grabbed more from a different angle 
| that pretty much seal the deal.

It's a good thing that they rejected Vista. It would have been blue all over
the place.
