Windows errors pop up when you least expect them, we have compiled a list of Top 10 Biggest Windows Errors which span from Times Square and across the Atlantic. No 10 - Barcelona Spain Smooth sailing on the calm seas and you hit a bump - A Windows error message. Source (The list continues after the jump) No 9 - Times Square - New York Check the screen above Virgin's neon sign the computer appears to be running Windows 98 or ME. No 8 - London bridge Not too clear as it was shot from a camera phone but as you can see from the shop sign the screen is pretty large. No 7 - Times Square - New York Error initializing modem? Wow never thought they would still be in use. Source germany_error.jpg No 6 - Germany There goes Vista, not sure about the location. Thanks Jeff strip_2.jpg No 5 - Las Vegas Wow looking at the icons it is not just videos they run using that computer. strip_1.jpg Source No 4 - London Better start debugging your media player guys. The Coke ad is located at Piccadilly Circus, London. Source No 3 - CVS Pharmacy - Las Vegas The top screen is actually blue but appears black due to the camera angle. Seems they could not get a technician to fix it or it crashed again in the night. Source No 2 - Times Square - New York Adam Gaffin online editor of Network World was on a vacation at the Big Apple. At Times Square he got to see the world's largest Windows Error message apparently two storeys tall. It was the only billboard in the entire square with absolutely no movement - since the PC running it had obviously frozen. It looks like a Direct X error message. Source psp.jpg No 1 - New York PSP running Windows 2000? The huge screen showed PSP promos, the above screen came up when the system crashed, rebooted into the Windows 2000 login prompt. Source Honorable mention - Technically no Windows error gets bigger than this. This event occurred when Bill Gates was unveiling the then-new Windows 98 at COMDEX on April 20, 1998. The demo PC crashed with a BSOD when his assistant (Chris Capossela, who is still working for Microsoft as Corporate VP in the Information Working business unit) connected a scanner to the PC. The crowd reacted with a thunderous applause.

Believe everthing you see? Good, then this is an unannounced Nokia N94i running the Windows Mobile (not Symbian) operating system. We have no way of knowing for sure, but that looks like an engineering prototype of something which has gone up for auction somewhere on this great blue planet. According to the listed specs, we're looking at a touchscreen (with stylus) multimedia device synonymous with the N-Series packing a 2 megapixel camera, speakerphone, Bluetooth 2.0 and MicroSD expansion. It's also listed as a dual-sim device with quad-band GSM support. Of course, Microsoft has been slowly making in-roads into Nokia handsets for several months with Nokia's purchase of Intellisync and the recent announcement to integrate Windows Live services into some Nokia handsets. Still, WinMo on Nokia... are we dreaming, or is that "WinXP.jpg" an indicator of something more foolish?

You can argue that the iPod touch is an iPhone without the phone. So what's an iPod touch without OS X? You're looking at it. That's Dave's swanky new iPod touch, fresh off the boat and out of the box with nothing more than a diagnostic utility. Ha, Cheerios icon for the cereal serial number -- clever Apple. Not quite as clever as shipping a working product though. Now besides a temperature sensor, what's interesting here is that Bluetooth icon showing a disabled radio. Does that mean the hardware is there like we heard but disabled in firmware? Not sure. Still, we'll chalk this little snafu up to first production run jitters unless you tell us differently, dear readers. More after the break.

That's right, someone is selling this incredible Halo 3 Master Chief suit on eBay. Auction page. First picture in gallery.

The suit is so awesome, it has been featured on Spike TV, G4 TV, and in a Dell Commercial. This suit is FAMOUS! Now it can be yours. The suit is made from a very hard Urethane Plastic. It isn't one of those cheaply casted vacuumformed suits
