The zune coulda been the iPod killer if they did wireless right. I hate iTunes, love the hardware.
Wow that sucks. I bet they'll come out with a firmware update in the next day or two but that's a big programming failure. I mean, I can understand when the new century rolled around everyone was worried about their computers dying but it's just 2009. What's so special about that?.

It wasn't even the year change that did it.
It happened before the calender hit 2009.
What? Oh, sorry I was listening to my iPod [laugh]
just kidding, sorry.
I saw this headline on Wired and wondered what was up.

I actually was.
I wasn't gonna say anything though. ;D
Sounds like a built in feature. I'm half expecting the patch to cost $20 [laugh]
if it makes you feel any better, my brothers brand new iPod (not the touch FWIW) is a brick right now as well.
the only thing he can do with it is hold down the receipt while he waits for someone from tech to tell him what to do.
technology sucks. but only because it never works like we expect it to.
lol i have music on my computer. i jsut wnated it on the go.
not a big deal cause i just listen to the music in my head.
Ended up going to best buy and bought my self a new blue label hp notebook!!!! 5 hours on a 13.3"!!!! WEEEEE now.. about my zune, i just left it on for the past 6 hours and im waiting for it to do so i can reboot it. If it doesnt reboot. Then its official, the war on microsoft begins....

Yeah...
It's that .3 that gets ya.
Lol, it turned out to be the leap year screwing it up. [roll] So I guess that means your Zune will freeze on you on Dec. 31 every 4 years? [laugh]
Is that wat it was? lol wow.
I just plugged it into my comp and it works now.
On that note.... i just got ROYALLY screwed by Best Buy. The shit dont stop! They basically scammed me out of $80 bucks.
Yup, here's an article. It was in the LA Times too.

Yeah, I saw your other thread too, not a good end of the year for you, huh? :-\
Aha! THanks for the link!
As i said before, if things went right for me, i wouldnt be me. I could list all the bad things that happened that i dont talk about, but at the end of the day, I still have a full set of hair, im fairly healthy, aside from sleeping issues, and i dont have ED. So im happy. [laugh]
