[PLUG] Gotta find this on video....


This is  reminiscent of the BSOD when Gates demoed USB:

"Bill Gates touts 'digital lifestyle,' despite technical bugs"
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2005/01/05/financial0019EST0249.DTL

Here are the good parts...

----------------------snip-------------------snip--------------------------
During a demonstration of digital photography with a soon-to-be-released
Nikon camera, a Windows Media Center PC froze and wouldn't respond to
Gates' pushing of the remote control.

Later in the 90-minute presentation, a product manager demonstrated the
ostensible user-friendliness of a video game expected to hit retail stores
in April, Forza Motor Sport. But instead of configuring a custom-designed
race car, the computer monitor displayed the dreaded "blue screen of
death" and warned, "out of system memory."
