Rickard Liljeberg noticed that when you “put your mobile phone close to the cd-rom unit of the Dell Optiplex GX520 and then recieve a sms/txt” it “goes into some sort of suspension mode from which you can’t bring it back without breaking power or holding down the power button for four seconds.” Video after the jump.

It worked with all the new dells here in the office and with any mobile phone. Just make sure to save all of your work before you try it at home. The only remaining question is: Is it a bug or feature?
