Beijing stricken by BSOD

For those of you who don't know, that's the Blue Screen of Death - the dread herald of catastrophic failure known and feared by those of us working a Windows box.

It appears that in the midst of Beijing's otherwise-spectacular opening ceremonies for the 2008 Summer Games, a lone computer melted down. Unfortunately, its existential crisis was fed into a massive projector, blowing the BSOD up to super-jumbo-mega size on the ceiling of the Bird's Nest. A number of quick spectators noticed and snapped pics, and the glitch can be seen briefly in NBC's coverage.

No comment from Microsoft on the high-profile fumble, nor from the Beijing Olympic Committee as to what we missed out on when the display went blue.
