Testing Facebook Video Embed

Blue Screen of Death at Olympics

This is really funny. I was wondering how they were projecting all the way around the stadium at the Bird’s Nest at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I was guessing it was one huge computer or a network of computers working together. Well, now there’s more details. It seems they were using Windows :) Here’s some proof… pictures of the blue screen of death during the opening ceremonies.
