Nothing! No chaos, no anarchy, no martial law, no riots... I was highly disappointed   Although I assumed nothing would've happend, anyone with a basic knowledge of how computers work knew there was nothing to worry about. I'm just glad I didn't go out and stock up on bottled water and canned good like those other idiots
