Okay now I have heard it all! LOL! According to a Microsoft development blogger a "major computer manufacturer" has found that playing Janet Jackson's hit song "Rhythm Nation" can cause some older model laptops to actually crash. They found that even if you are sitting near it with your older model computer and the song is played it can ALSO crash. They did some heavy digging and found that, “It turns out that the song contained one of the natural resonant frequencies for the model of 5400 rpm laptop hard drives that they and other manufacturers used. The manufacturer worked around the problem by adding a custom filter in the audio pipeline that detected and removed the offending frequencies during audio playback.". That is crazy! Do you have an older model laptop or computer you want to test it out with? If so, here you go...Here is Rhythm Nation!
