1) You're gaming and your game crashes. What do you say? "Damn Computer!"
More like "Damn [game developer]!"
2) You're watching a movie full-screen and your computer restarts because of automatic updates. What do you say? "Damn Computer!"
"Damn me for apparently not turning off automatic updates!"
Absolutely hate automatic anything. Only "automatic" updates I leave enabled are Java and Flash, since they only bug me at startup.
3) You're trying to work and your computer is running super slow. What do you say? "Damn Computer!"
Control + Alt + Delete, Task Manager, Processes, sort by CPU%
4) You're invested in a porn video and your screen saver pops-up. What do you say? "Where the $#@% did I put the Kleenex?!"

I agree that computers most often do what they're supposed to (except when they're built wrong) but when in doubt, blame the computer! ;)
Nah, I'm firmly of the opinion that the problem is always the fault of the programmer or the end user. Sure, we can't expect programmers to be perfect and when I'm playing a DOS game on a Windows 7 machine 100+ times faster than any consumer-grade processor on the market at the time the game was developed, it's not reasonable to expect said programmers to have time traveling abilities... There will naturally be issues.
