 You need to restart your computer
ok, this is freaky... I was connecting to yahoo messenger and all of a sudden my screen darkened and a black sign You Need to Restart Your Computer appeared on many languages, which means it must've been important... what's this is all about?

It's a kernel panic. Run Disk Utility from your hard drive to Repair Permissions, then boot off the CD and run Disk Utility to repair the drive. After booting off the OS CD and the Installer window appears, go to the top of the screen to the Installer Menu for Disk Utility. If it finds any problems, run it again.

Kernel panics are more often related to hardware issues than software issues. So while repairing permissions and checking your harddrive might help, you're probably better off checking your connected hardware. Known culprits: Incompatible RAM, USB devices and hubs, FW devices. My most recent kernel panics were related to the Maxtor FW OneTouch drive (there's a driver update somewhere at maxtor.com that solves the problem) and my Sony Clié and Missing Sync (update to Missing Sync 4.0.1 solves the problem).

i actually do not connect anything other than a Sony camera an iPod to my PowerBook, I think, the problem could be related to WebEX manager since I have not done anything unusual that day other than installing the manager.
