Widget Watch: Kernel Panic

I dont know how or what i did to lend into this trap ? It just appeared and i restarted by pressing the power button enough long :( I haven't installed this kind of app on my PB, but i wonder is it a virus attack ?

You know... I just went and found a nice Kernel Panic screen saver... it always seems whatever I do... everybody else wants to do afterwards.

I have only seen that screen on my Intel Mac. NEVER on my old G3 running Tiger. Coincidence?

Anyhoo, I'll install it on my machine for kicks. Plus, I get to show my friends what a Grey screen of doom looks like.

it's very old. I saw first time two years ago on eMac. :(

I see that screen a lot...

The first time i saw that dialogue box i was actually confused, after 3-4 years of using a mac i hadnt once seen it lol, its a rare sight indeed.

I bet most people will just reboot their machines if they saw that. Although, you've got to wonder: if you're working in a job where your co-workers are savvy enough to try and play a Kernel Panic joke on you then you're probably savvy enough to notice the "Are you sure you want to shutdown your computer now?" dialog and realize that something is up!

This dude (an anyone that weould install this, is an a-hole!. The average user would heed the warning and actually restart the computer. Abnormal restarts lead to eventual directory corruption, forcing more work on the person who installed this on the computer as a "joke" in order to repair any corruption caused by restarting abnormally.
