Cut the cutesy errors
I couldn’t believe the first time I saw the sad smiley blue screen. It seemed like such a ridiculous thing for Microsoft to have done.<p>Then I remembered fiddling on Macs as a kid, if you screwed up you’d see a bomb. If you did something really wrong you’d get the mac icon with Xs for eyes.<p>The point being: cutesy errors are about as old as personal computing, but they do seem to becoming more prevalent.
