Irony: iPhone 5S Users Reporting Blue Screen of Death

Posted by timothy on Friday October 11, 2013 @12:04PM from the ok-this-feels-intuitive dept.

MojoKid writes "It's been a long time since many have seen a dreaded 'blue screen of death' (BSoD), but it's back and in the most unlikeliest of places. Oddly enough, some Apple iPhone 5S owners are reporting BSoD errors, though they're a little different from the ones you may remember seeing on Windows desktops. Rather than spit out an obscure error code with a generic description, some iPhone 5S devices are suddenly turning blue before automatically restarting. The Numbers app in Apple's iWork suite, a free program with new iPhones, seems to be the primary cause, though BSoD behavior has also been observed in other applications, according to complaints in Apple's support forum."

Unfortunately CS courses are not about teaching software engineering.
Of course not. CS is a branch of mathematics. Software Engineering courses teach software engineering. Totally different disciplines.

They're all about teaching the latest fad in computer language and off you go into the marketplace.
No; as above, computer science is mathematics. Air-quote CS air-quote courses taught in community colleges and the like are misnamed, because "introduction to software construction" doesn't stroke the egos of either the teachers or their students.
