A tech whiteout occurs when your office experiences or you experience a complete meltdown of the technology you rely on to run your enterprise or life.
“All we did was call in one of our techies and the next thing you know we had a total tech whiteout in our office: our entire network crashed, our VoIP phones wouldn’t work, in fact, you couldn’t even log on to your own local workstation since even that is controlled by the network. These days the Internet is so in-grained into our work flow for: data storage, social networking, running our websites, operating our phones, running applications, communicating with our clients, etc., that when our network isn’t working, we might as well send everyone home. The only thing that was working was the one old analog phone line we keep around for our fax machine.”

A measure for how capable/lucky someone is with computers, gadgets and other technology. At one end of the scale, it's the Buddha-like ability to bend technology to your will and get it to do amazing things. At the other end, it's people who can crash an iPad just by looking at it.

Similar in concept to white guilt, tech guilt is a growing feeling among tech workers who are buying or renting homes and apartments made available by the eviction of socioeconomic minorities or the gentrification of "transitional neighborhoods" in major tech hubs like Silicon Valley.
Brad: Can you believe my studio apartment in the mission was Section 8 housing one year ago?! My rent is $4000/month! Oh well, I can afford it.
Jill: I hope you're feeling some tech guilt right now.

"Dude, I just went over to this chick's apartment to help her with her computer. I spent like 20 hours with the thing and it still doesn't work. I didn't get laid either."
