WTF Message Boxes

Today, I fired up Windows Media Player to listen to some of the greatest hits from Lou Reed and this box suddenly appeared.

WindowsMediaPlayerWTF

I am not going to make any comments. The only reason I think this happened was I logged in this machine last night using Remote Desktop Connection… but I can’t find the relation between WMP and RDC. Any insights?

Today, before I went to University, I unmounted my SD card from my new laptop (which is running Kubuntu 7.10) and I got this message:

kio_media_unmount_wtf

Have anyone ever seen a SD Card Reader that ejects cards? Does it make sense to write Successfully and Error in the same dialog?

Software sucks!
