So I was having some issues upgrading my iPhone to OS 3.0.1, which is something anyone with an iPhone should do, as the vulnerability it fixes is seriously scary(first link is news story, second is link to white paper PDF, consider yourself warned), and my cat knocked the iPhone off a table, thereby disconnecting the USB cable during the upgrade.

I wasn’t too freaked out – I back up daily – but I was curious to see how the installer handles situations like this, which led me to my laptop’s syslog/Console, and this hilarious gem:

I’m glad to see nerdy Star Wars jokes/easter eggs can still pass through a major tech company’s QA department.
