Surely you guys have seen news about this already (hell, even AP picked it up) --

The demo of Forza Motorsport was done on an xBox, too. Apparently, even that dedicated gaming console isn't immune to the BSOD, either.

How sweet is it that this happened twice within the show?

Funnier still is the fact that CNet has the iPod and TiVo as CES's spotlight technologies....and Apple didn't even go to CES!

I'd like to see Jobs slip a BSoD into his keynote.

Here's a link to a video.

Make sure you click the link to the Intel CEO singing Walk This Way with Stephen Tyler (it's over to the right). It's actually painful to watch.

Haven't seen an old man that uncomfortable since my grandpa had bowel surgery. Yikes.

To put it frankly. Bill Gates and his company suck and always have/will.
