Elliotwiz1: 3-A Google programmer accidentally blocked off every website in the Google index for an hour!
Google has programmers whose job is to block websites with malware. They do their work by entering dangerous websites into a registry for Google to block. The computer than warns users of the dangers of accessing such a site, and won’t let them on the site.
Basically, once a website is on Google’s malware registry, no one will ever see the site again. The problem came when one of programmers entered just a slash into the registry (/). As you will notice, every website address contains slashes because they are pretty much the punctuation of web addresses.
Since the slash was on the registry every website in the Google index was blocked including Google websites. It was a horrible mistake that, in effect, stopped the Internet for working for 55 minutes until programmers fixed the error. Google quickly admitted their mistake and apologized for the error.
Few remembered it after that sad, Internet-free morning in 2009. It does show, however, how huge a problem the slightest error can make. It only takes a small detail to completely derail the Internet! http://www.cracked.com/article_19519_5-tiny-computer-glitches-that-caused-huge-disasters.html

Elliotwiz1: 8-The Google Maps satellite image of Fairfield College in New Zealand shows a pair of enormous joysticks burnt into its grass!
The lawn artwork was the result of a prank performed by a pair of students with weed killer back in May 2009. The deed was done over a weekend, so the perpetrators were never caught and once the 40-foot phalluses were discovered, it was too late to do anything! The school’s principal used more herbicide to kill ALL the grass and hide the giant Instruments, but it took months for the lawn dongs to be hidden completely. As luck would have it, the massive members were photographed by Google Maps’ satellites later that year and the practical joke has been immortalized on the Internet for all to see! http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/110874-Giant-Wang-Penetrates-Google-Maps

Rickybel: Nice post
#1 puts the movies Minority Report and Eagle Eye into perspective
Imagine the computer with the human brain going rogue,we'll be in a whole lot of trouble
*sigh* technology and its evils.
All we need now are advanced robots like in the I Robots films or the sorts and Terminator will become reality
Humans will be the endangered species on this planet.
