Recently Robin and I were in Paddington Station and Robin noticed this error message on the screen of one of those information/email/phone thingys. It is unbelievable to see this for a number of reasons:
1. Why does anybody think that an error message like this is acceptable. It means nothing to the average user and worse it kinda freaks you out a bit with all the “0×01872fsc” referencing memory explanation.
2. Why would anyone put an operating system on one of these phone/info thingys that may throw up any error messages at all. I know thorough testing will not always eliminate all errors but there should be no chance of an error that doesn’t make any sense on an interface that is miles away from the company that owns it.
All in all it was quite unbelievable to see and we couldn’t resist taking out the camera phone and snapping it.
Enjoy.
