hacking NAIAS

while walking through the Ford exhibit at this year's North American International Auto Show, I noticed a computer screen. the display, titled 'Truth About Trucks', featured components from competitors' vehicles compared to Ford's to show their relative toughness. someone apparently managed to get this PC out of kiosk mode and start up a game of solitaire. here's a close-up, I would have taken one without the flash but someone from Ford noticed me snapping the first two and came over to see what was what with the screen. I just hope their onboard computers are a bit 'tougher' than whatever kiosk software they were running.

I'm guessing they had a PC behind the booth simply running powerpoint, prior to the show opening the guy working the booth was probably slacking off and forgot to start the show.
