No trouble with my T-Mo service in NH and northern MA. I received dozens of emails and texts throughout the day, and probably spent at least 4 or 5 hours in calls (one calls was received via GV). Never experienced any dropped calls (never have, actually), data loss, or other issues. #nationwidetmobileoutage
"Beckend system software error" sounds like "We honestly just don't have a T-Mobile below us to blame it on, metaphorically speaking - we are just awful."
By the way, I've paid my T-Mobile dues for this month, so I'm entitled. I would like to have seen the IT department turn to chaos, throw monitors, set fire to small objects and brake windows, but it was probably more like a snow day for these guys. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@Curves: Get them both in the same room and they'll blame Sales and Marketing for promising more than the system can deliver in so short a time. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Mine went all back to normal this morning. Everyone I know that uses T-Mobile had issues (Minneapolis & DC) Thank God for Google Voice. #nationwidetmobileoutage
I call this BS.
First, if i recall correctly, this message only appears when you force shutdown or when power is cut, a BSOD leaves a dump file, so after a crash the computer starts normally. (but dont take my word for it, it's been ages since i had a BSOD)
And second, i really, reeeeeeeeeaaally doubt that a bios screen can appear on a ticker (shit, it doesn't even appear on my secondary monitor/TV) I'm pretty sure that you need software for that.

@Acheron's Grief: So you don't think that somebody in the Cowboys office forced a shutdown?
And for your second point... it's not a BIOS screen, it's a Windows screen. Seriously, if you don't know the difference between your BIOS and a Windows pre-boot text mode message, don't pretend you know anything about computers.
I dunno, I feel that would have to be put there. Its not like Windows natively supports scrolling banner LED screens as a main monitor. This would likely be driven my a PC with software on top controlling what shows on the banner. I'd take it as someone pratting around.

But that doesn't make it any less lulz-worthy.

Sure doesn't look like anyone is blaming Windows or MS to me.
