Microsoft Issues Workaround For Zune Freeze
UnknowingFool writes "As a followup to the Zune New Year's Eve meltdown, Microsoft has issued a workaround for what some users have correctly guessed was a bug caused by a leap year. To recover from the problem, let the Zune drain the batteries and restart it after noon on January 1, 2009. Many sites are reporting that Microsoft has 'fixed' the issue, but technically all Microsoft has done is to ask users to wait out the conditions that triggered the bug. Unless a software patch comes out, Zunes will suffer the same problem again in four years." Reader ndtechnologies adds, "According to posts in the Toshiba forum at anythingbutipod.com, the same bug that shut down millions of Zune 30's also affects the Toshiba Gigabeat S. The Zune 30 is based off of the Gigabeat S series and was co-developed by Microsoft with Toshiba."
Okay, I get it, Sancho. You have always been "overly smart" as compared to your peers, and are innnnnnnncredibly hard to be friends with, because you have NO sense of humor, and are WAY too egotistical.
And yes, FINE, you ARE too smart. Toooooo smart! Congrats on your accident of birth. Go live The Big Bang Theory and leave us all alone, OR learn to interact socially.
I hope you choose the latter, because people of your intellect have a LOT of good to contribute to society, but you get shut out due to your irritating personalities.
Just be... calmer =) And don't jump on everyone for not being as "smart" as you. Remember... while INTELLIGENCE and the pursuit of KNOWLEDGE comprise YOUR entire existence, they do not for almost everyone else. Learn how others think, and how they see life.
You are gonna be happier afterwards. Trusssssst meeeeeeeee!
