"A meeting between a coalition of internet power players has been arranged for later tonight, the group includes Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Craig of craigslist"

Lol.

It'd take so long to write the entire thing.

I was questioning the video right from the start when it said they traced the crash back to this random person... but of course, it was a news site (well, what looked to be one) so I thought "Hey, it must be real!"... that was until I watched the rest of the video, and actually bothered to take a closer look at the website itself.

Hahahahah i LOVE that list of applications he had open!!

Tipton said he had more than 35 windows open on his PC at the time of the crash,
He had been downloading the yola tango discography from iTunes,
While streaming youtube videos, listening to a NPR broadcast, IMing his friends, checking his 3 email accounts, talking on skype and playing online poker all while installing the latest version of firefox, and updating his system software!

HAH CLASSIC!
