screen of death for the iPhone

***FYI*** this is not a jailbroken 3GS, nor was I trying to jailbreak it. It had been acting funny all day and I turned it off. After an hour I attached it to the charger (still not turning the power on) and the screen on the pic immediately popped up.

But before that my iPhone looked like this

Wow, normally, you'd only see that screen if you're on a Jailbroken device. It's becoming way more like OS X now.

I hope in the Apple store you can get a new one. And they do not tell you because it look like it is the screen from a jailbreak phone you can not get the new phone

A kernel panic may point to bad memory. I hope you get new hardware from the Apple store.

The good news is BSOD still works, whatever blue or black the screen of death is --

I love the verbosity of the bottom line "We are hanging here...". Thank you to whoever coded that line ^^

Oh noes! Summon the top-secret Apple Emergency Response Force so this citizen can go on with life! Remain calm, citizen, and proceed to the designayed area.

About

I'm based in the Bay Area and I make videos that either go on TV or the web. Currently, I work at Revision3.

I believe I am addicted to the internet.

I like dark chocolate, red wine, pop music, good food, my dog Jango and *shocking* some reality TV shows.

I will never apologize for these interests, or force you to like them too.

Hello world!
