− | + | {{w|Steve Jobs}} died on October 5, 2011, the day before this comic was posted. He was the {{w|CEO}} and one of the founders of {{w|Apple, Inc}}. He was the head of Apple for the introduction of {{w|OS X}}, the operating system used on all {{w|Macintosh}}es. For OS X, when a program ties up enough system resources, an animated cusor, affectionately referred to as "the beachball," appears and spins, seemingly endlessly. The image text refers to the the fact that on the Mac, the application sometimes recovers and the system comes back; other times, however, the damage is irrevocable, a {{w|Kernel Panic}} happens and the system needs a restart. | |
