BSOD

So one of the interesting things about Leopard is that machines running Windows show up on your network as old school CRTs showing the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death):

Some people are crying into their soup about how this is very smug and mean of Apple. Big salty tears are pouring from their faces as they weep about the unfairness of a joke in an operating system. Kudos to them for expressing their displeasure; the world is a cruel place.

But I prefer action over complaining. To restore a delicious lack of bias to your Mac OS X installation, you can follow these instructions at Engadget. They show you how to replace the BSOD CRT icon with something more neutral.

However, the icon they suggest as a replacement is lame. You should use mine instead, which is a bazillion times more awesome.
