Yes, well, having watched various technology forums (especially Android phone forums, as of late) I'm amused at the people griping at software bugs. Yeah, we have our nice shiny fancy equipment, but there are always software flaws. That's where the "Do not use in mission-critical applications" line in EULAs comes from.
Meanwhile, when Voyager 2 started returning gibberish to Earth, some guy concluded an alien intelligence was responsible (probably a stray cosmic ray that flipped a bit in the wrong place)
I won't claim that was a REASONABLE conclusion, but you rarely see such claims being made about our own personal computers.
