A bit off topic, but interesting nontheless;
i crashed my mobile phone!
Panasonic G450, UK Vodafone
it said Lo Battery, i pressed a key (probably 5) and the backlight came
on, then the battery ran out and it said Phone Shutting Down and stayed
that way until i removed it's battery! when i tried to power it up it
didn't, had to plug the charger in...
anyone else had any weird experiences with embedded programs like this?
(i seem to have a knack at making things fail, it's happened to my Atari
Lynx, Personal CD Player (i could make the backlight flash patterns!) and
my MD recorder killed a disc for no good reason)
thought embedded programs were considered relatively bug-free, afterall
there's only a few states the hardware can be in...
