The White Screen of Death is any screen with a white background that appears on an iPod when it is broken beyond repair. These screens are usually accompanied by a face with red X's for eyes and a frowny face and says something like "Please go to apple.com/support for assistance".
A white screen of death is almost guarenteed after dropping an iPod (along with a cracked screen), dropping the iPod in water, someone steps on the iPod or the stars align in such a way that your iPod just suddenly doesn't work for no apparent reason. This is linked to the Blue Screen of Death in old Windows computers and also the Red Ring of Death in XBox 360's.
The White Screen of Death is why I now have a Creative.

A page inside a browser that has a predominantly white background and an error message usually in the center.
These are very common on social networking sites, especially involving browser-based games such as those created by Zynga.
The purpose of a White Page of Death is usually to indicate a failure of communication among the client input (you), the main site's server, and the game site's server.
Or, in the case of a social site's own server failure, to inform you that the server is broken and can't find your information.
