Sad Mac
For years, Mac users have had the love/hate relationship with the adorable Sad Mac icon. It’s cute. But it usually sucks when you see it.
Despite being a generally bad omen when you see it, there’s quite a culture which has grown up around the iconic icon. And it sure is a lot nicer to look at than the standard Windows Blue Screen of Death.
With the introduction of Google Chrome however, the Sad Mac will finally have some company in the form of Sad Tab.
Sad Tab will appear whenever a tab is corrupted in the browser. Chrome threads each tab as a separate process, so if one tab fails it won’t bring down the whole window or the entire browser (actually, each tab is technically its own browser). The good news is that Sad Tab shouldn’t cause you to schedule a trip to your local Genius Bar.
