    LAX - Advertisment Display




    The World's Best PCs, The World's Worst Operating System.

    This system was still crashing two days later. I guess Windows doesn't even need users to corrupt itself.

    YVR - Gate Display


    Negative!

    At first I thought the inverted colours were the result of a display error, but then, at 6 AM, they all switched to normal. Upon further reflection, I realized that that mode of display was deliberate, an attempt to equally burn in the pixels on the plasma displays.

    Travelocity Flight Pricing


    Now, that's an expensive flight!

    While not strictly an airport IT failure, this is too funny not to share.

    YVR - Departures Display


    Anyone going to Ses Angeles?

    This is a really unusual failure condition. The only thing I could think that would cause this is some sort of cross-talk between the cables feeding the adjacent displays, or some unusual burn-in to the plasma displays.
