Computer Randomly Plays Classical Music

Amazing news but totally true... And of course the Operating System that has this strange "problem" is... Windows! At least they have corrected it in versions XP+

Apparently when you are using safe mode in any version older than XP, seemingly at random, a piece of classical music starts playing. The two songs they have are "Fur Elise" or "It's a Small, Small World". The real reason though is that the BIOS has detected a fan failure. It is actually a design feature of a detection circuit and system BIOSes developed by Award/Unicore from 1997 on.

You can check out Microsoft's support page on this problem. Weirdly enough they have tried to cover it under the tags "kbhardware, kbinfo, and KB261186"... Probably to avoid being found.

It is a fun easter egg I'd be just amazed to have it happen to me... :D

After a lot of time finding out REALLY useless websites out there I thought it was time to actually do a complete "compilation" of them, so here we go:

  1. They'll never find us herethey

  2. Wait forever... A website that takes a VERY long time to load... what?
    Tell us here what happens if you wait enough time.. :(

  3. Rotating head. Well, I just have no idea on how to describe this.. what is the point???

  4. Blaggel... Well, I just find funny that someone is paying for this space :D

  5. Dude in a box that says it all.

  6. Peeling paint Watch a webcam showing live a wall with its pain peeling... wtf

  7. Something This is probably the most pointless of all

  8. 404 error Watch a 404 error page talk with it's self

  9. World's highest webpage That say's it all, scroll down 18.939 kilometers

  10. The oculous Watch a pair of balls (Earth and moon I guess ;) ) spin around...

Now the fun thing is that there is REAL people who have created those pages, and who pay for their space! :) Internet just surprises me every day...

Also, as I was doing my research for this article I came across REALLY weird websites, so I might write another article with the Top 10 most weird websites, which are not pointless, they actually Do stuff, but wow, they are imagination...
