The Windows Blue Screen of Death Makes a Hilarious iPad Lock Screen
Oct 6, 2012 - 18 Comments
One of the many things that iOS and Mac switchers coming from the Windows world surely don’t miss is the infamous Blue Screen of Death. To celebrate your freedom from that dreaded BSOD, you can dress up your iPad or Mac with a hilarious blue screen wallpaper, which easily ranks up there with that awful Windows 95 background on the worst wallpaper scale, and rest easy knowing you’ll never have to see that horrible blue screen of problems again.
You can grab the full size wallpaper here or by clicking the image below.
This hilarious idea was found on Twitter, don’t forget to follow us there too.
Pot calling the kettle black LOL
I don’t think chortling about historic windows unreliability seems fitting as OS X seems to get ever less reliable as it is increasingly infected by to-many-features-on-too-many-platforms-itis. My windows applications are bombing out a lot, although admittedly loosing the whole machine remains rare, but no longer a “never”.
As a former Windows user, a BSOD is NOT funny. Apple’s GSOD actually less useful: how the f am I supposed to read Korean, eh?
Long live Linux.
Right the f on man. Open source is forever. Wake up windows/mac fanbois.
Most of us have a life?
Almost convincing. Apart then from the font. Windows would never use The typical Apple “myriad pro” font.
Even the bluescreen looks better on Apple!
I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a bsod.
Probably the last time you had to explain to your grandmother that she can’t clean the dust out with a wet cloth.
With the number of Mountain Lion and xcode crashes, freeze and slowness, I think Mac users should be conservative on their comments about all other OSs
My Man!!!
My kids also love you!!!

I’m gonna go make a Kernel Panic version. I’ll post the PSD when I’m done.
I have something similar… well not really, the Windows 8 BSOD, this one is funny (seriously): http://i.imgur.com/MQPDw.jpg
That Blue Screen of Death isn’t actually a work of art, it’s a Photoshopped screenshot of it with a pinhole(?).
ha ha ha… actually I’ve seen grey screen of death on my mac more times than BSOD on my Windows machine.
Thanks!!!
Only for you:

Steve.
Me too! And I don’t find these things funny.
At least the BSOD gives some useful information about the exception. The grey screen of death is far more obnoxious commanding you to power off the machine without any rhyme or reason, but in 5 randomly selected languages.
And while on the topic how about the color wheel of death?
haa haha haaha haha
btw the windows share icons in mac os are blue screen pc’s haa hahah ahha
LOL, I’m using this as a screen saver for my Mac
