I just read this and found so interesting that I decided to share. Referring to computer problems as bugs came from Grace Hopper when: "From then on, when anything went wrong with a computer, we said it had bugs in it." On the removal of a 2-inch-long moth from the Harvard Mark I experimental computer at Harvard in August 1945, as quoted in Time (16 April 1984) http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper Although it isn't clear it was a software or a hardware problem, I guess the moth indicates a hardware one, still pretty funny...
