Offensive line not the only thing broken at Oklahoma game

Not fake, sir. I was there and it was hilarious. I wish I had taken a picture myself!

This isn't about Windows, but already twice now i've seen in the tram (The Hague) that on the screens not the upcoming stops are up, but the BIOS with some message to press a key to continue. Also if that happens you don't hear the 'The next stop is: [name of stop]'

Yeah, I'm in the camp that thinks this is fake.

It's too bland to be funny for me. The actual BSoD at the Bejing Olympics was funny because China worked so hard for it to be perfect and a computer had a serious malfunction with an actual BSoD.

A boot-up screen? Wooooo?

And as others have mentioned, the way these screens/marquees work, wouldn't allow for a message like this to display.

Also, it seems kind of especially idiotic to drag the Mac VS Windows debate for a light display. Why WOULD you waste the money on a Mac to run a POV system? The scoreboard at a little league game doesn't even use Windows.

How exactly is this related to Apple?

this is fake - never happened. so the comment suggesting it was apple hatred was pretty much on target.

I have to call FAKE. These "scrolling lcd's are run from a computer yes, but this message would not broadcast to the world that the PC running it had shutdown properly. NO WAY. This was intentional 110% LOL. The fact that this message show at the first screen or 2 at bootup, wouldn't even give the lcd controller thingy to come online at this stage, much less display this message, funny all the same!

It seems odd that this would actually make it to the public display screens. You'd think that those in the control booth would have studio monitors, or a video mixer/switcher, something like that so there is a way to not have these messages display for the crowd to see.

So glad to be a Mac type of guy.

power failure? you'd think that would have affected some of the other systems at the stadium.

Here's the real question, why is this text showing at all. Is there some sort of VGA-->lightbulb matrix converter in the system?

You'd think that software to control a screen like this would send data out via serial or parallel port, not read every single bit of text on the screen and convert it.

woohoo everybody chill.
