Fun: Three Dimensions and BSODs

Now, I’m going to say this once and only once: The keys “ALT” (bottom left of the keyboard) and “F4” (top row of the keyboard) pressed together are your friends. They can close windows that open up and get you back to your desktop.

Right. Good. Phew. That’s got that out of the way.

I’ve recently come across this little link that (if your computer is up to the task) will provide a three-dimensional image of the planet Earth. When you rotate your head, the image really does appear to move – I’m not sure how it does it, but wow!

I’ve also just found out that Microsoft has announced a new advertising on the Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) scheme (hence the image for this post). Now, whenever your computer crashes, you will be presented with an advertisement from a number of ‘selected partners’. I suppose it’s a good idea considering the number of machine crashes that must be taking place every day, but it’s hardly an incentive for Microsoft to make Windows even more stable is it?

I haven’t yet found the cost of advertising on them, but as soon as I do I’ll let you know.
