Dell Desktop…
Need we go on? Blogger Rickard Liljeberg posts on his website of a strange phenomenon whereby a Dell desktop, model GX520, will spontaneously shut itself down if a mobile phone placed near it recieves an SMS text message. A video of the bug can be found on Lliljeberg’s site.
Initially baffled, Dell blame the problem on interference between the phone and the harddrive and recommend that people refrain from using their mobiles within a foot of their desktop.
