If true, then anyone can creatr an audio file with the same resonant frequency and crash hard drives.

Well, when being chased by bird men and a Klingon, Kirk and Spock blew up the side of a desert cliff with their communicators.

I would bet that there wasn’t a test case for this when the computers were released. ;-)

She’s way too sexy in that music video anyway.

her 1989 hit single Rhythm Nation has been declared a security vulnerability...

Actually, a pretty awesome dance video, even 33 years later...

And this is a story that will be on our local host radio segment “Choose Your Shocking (Fake) News” tomorrow.

At least I will know that it is true.

So what does playing “Puberty Love” do to your hard drive, or does it only work on tomatoes?

They have already figured out how to disable people with bowel emptying
sounds and nerve sizzling microwaves.

Centrifuges and Hard Drives were easy.

Brains are the ultimate goal.

Well this is no surprise. Every time her songs come on my hard drive crashes too.

For many years, Raymond Chen’s website and blog (The Old New Thing) have been my ‘go-to’ resolution sites for finding answers to the most obscure Windows problems. Very knowledgeable guy, Chen is.

If this is true, then there’s a very good chance that any Yoko Oh-No song can freeze 7200 rpm drives. The good news is that no one can actually stand to listen to her.

IF true, it would require a sound system played at sufficiently loud decibels that was of high quality enough to reproduce that particular frequency, with close enough proximity to said hard drive.

Besides, who still uses a 5400 hard drive while rocking out to THAT video???
