Thursday January 06, 2005 Blue screen of death during Micro$oft CES demos
Bill Gates got the Blue Screen of Death during his demo of Microsoft products at the CES conference currently happening in Las Vegas. (Just noticed this: Also see The Sect of Rama blog post today). See: Don't Trust This Man with your Consumer Electronics I would not trust Micro$oft with any electronic consumer device, especially my cell phone. If they're getting the Blue Screen of Death during an important demo in front of over 100,000+ people, there is something seriously wrong with their engineering. Java technology (especially the memory management part of Java programming) on consumer devices is more important now than ever. Watch out when Micro$oft engineers try applying their Yeah-I'm-Used-To-1GB-of-RAM-So-What? mentality to electronic devices instead of their loaded PCs. They'll be scratching their heads wondering what's going wrong for quite some time to come. They just don't understand what Java and J2ME technology has already addressed, especially in places where it is really easy to get "Out of Memory".
