Zune rings in the New Year with a big glitch

Microsoft's Zune, New Year's Eve don't play together - Los Angeles Times

I couldn't help but laugh when I read this - to the chagrin of about a million Zune users, their beloved music machines shut down and stopped functioning today, on New Year's Eve. Microsoft has attributed it to a firmware bug in the clock driver. The fix is pretty low-tech: wait a day and it should work again! Talk about competing with Apple - this really throws a wrench into the works for MS's PR campaign.
