Good idea, but you'd have to dial it back a notch for most corporations.
Try these:

Apparently Boston can't tell if it's a computer virus or a tornado.

What if it's a virus that makes your computer bomb ?
(I don't think you can still get the Mac to display the bomb thingie though)

And just to rub it in...

Apparently Boston can't tell if it's a computer virus or a tornado. It must be the same effect that causes them to believe that their women are good looking.

That's the sexiest thing to come from the Linux community in forever.

By the way, this is from Microsoft - as in, the company who employs this guy. Still, I suppose there is no accounting for (sexual) taste.

Liquid Matrix has a link to the same story but they say as of 22 hours ago it has not been confirmed by T-Mobile . . .

I remember a few months ago that a nuclear power plant was shut down due to a zero reading of the data files after a server reboot due to OS update. It didn't really matter which OS it was, just it was poorly designed for the way it handles critical data and no sense of fault tolerance if something should go wrong. Also, the person who allowed the reboot didn't test this scenario to make sure it wouldn't cause any problems. Can you say, "Whooops"? It doesn't give me a warm fuzzing feeling about it. Here is the link to the story: http://www.liquidmatrix.org/blog/2008/06/07/nuke-plant-shutdown-due-to-upgrade/
