Users Report Faulty WPA In 2nd-Gen IPod Touch

jesuscash writes "It seems early adopters of the new iPod Touch are out of luck when they bring it home and attempt to connect it to their WPA/WPA2 secured network. Reading this Apple forum thread shows that many tests with different configurations show a no-go on WPA. Some of the last entries give the best clue, revealing a 'received deauthentication' error in their router logs. Apple has yet to respond."

Because this is Slashdot. If a story can be sensationalized it will, especially if it twisted to prove the following...

• Microsoft software is extremely unstable, and the use of it is relegated by idiots.
• A popular product used by non-geeks, are all faulty, and made by an evil company Apple, Google falls here too
• A company who doesn't fully support the GPL, any actions they do are considered evil. reason for this apple hate
• Any attempt to collect data from users even if the users use their own servers is a violation of privacy.
• Any attempt to incorporate new technology, will lead to the death of human kind
• The government is out to get you
• Everything is black and white, there is no middle ground, or good intelligent reason for what you disagree with.
• All Religious people are against science.
• All the above is void if it makes Linux or the GPL look good.

The general attitude of Slashdot is a collection of millions of bitter/mean people, who is thinks complaining about everything, will eventually make them right if something goes wrong. I think this attitude comes from the end of WWII where after seeing the evils that the Nazis did, with all the Germans just kinda letting it happen. Caused a Over Hyper reaction where everything that anyone does is evil. Then if it does turn out to be evil you can go on record of being against it, a freedom fighter of sorts etc... While the truth you were just some bitter guy who hated everything.
