http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/09/27/a-big-excel-boo-boo/
and Joel on Software explaining the bug:

Why I like these articles
- students talk about what bugs matter (and the very different perspectives in the articles)
- students like to hear that binary is not just theoretical, it actually comes up in an application they use
- they discuss the difficulty and importance of testing
