TekFail : Apple 8-Core MacPro Failure (Octavius)

http://www.Alfred.TV READ ME FIRST: In this video, I demonstrate the beta of Apple's new "Healthy Firmware" software, which will ping weather.com -- and, based on the mapping of your IP address to your local area, if the weather is nice, the machine won't boot. Really.

And YES - so pissed off, I said 2011 instead of 2010. Either that, or I got the time machine working again. Well, no. I'd have to unbox the time capsule first. Whateva.

Do you have something that is a total technology failure? Please post it as a video response.

Enjoy the video!

Warm regards,

1st law of technology.

Never touch a running computer, never do an update if you don't know the results.

Sorry, but it's your fault. Respect the laws!

ROTFL

@Thenewyorkcritic Mike, ya douche -- here is my comment back to you. "Casey, meet Rocco. Rocco, this is Casey." LOL!

@jacobdallen1 I'll tell you why - I like specific software applications that run on the platform. I heavily deploy Windows compliant servers and workstations at my office -- I like specific software applications that run on the platform. Quite frankly, I couldn't give a 'rats ass' to the manufacturer -- it's all about the SOFTWARE that is what drives my purchases and usage. To me, the OS should be transparent -- to LAUNCH an APP so you can 'do something' - it's silly how it's all gotten!

@JBergen1104 - its just a silly video, no computer won't boot if the weather's nice outside.

[JBergen1104]

Why doesn't it boot when the weather is nice?

[JBergen1104]

@prun3 It could be connected via wifi. Maybe the machine has wifi built in? Then again he could turn off the router if it's his. I dunno. Good question.

[luigi90900]

I don't get it. when did you say 2011?

[prun3]

Well you said that it check some weather site on the internet while booting. Then why not remove the LAN cable or something for once?

You could always empty out the electronics and just have the shell, and you could use that shell for a Christmas wrap.
