Thank G_d Micro$oft does not build cars. :) Bosses everywhere would swiftly tire of the “sorry I’m late - the damn car just kept rebooting every time I tried to leave the driveway...” from employees.

Leave it to Bill Gates to make end users bend over and squeal at the most unexpected times. And no, I don't own a Mac.

Isn’t there rumors that he’s serious sick? That’d be pretty boring to be that fly.

Anyways, Microsoft’s now dead to me, this crap happening and all. I took XP off my system today and am now looking to rid myself of my 360. Microsoft sucks.

Maybe someone in GAZA planted a virus....or someone in Israel wants to bring terrorism to Zune.

if it flashes such a message, it’s got to be malware. yes, of course, like “Bush” and global warming, that’s Gates’ fault.

Just a heads up, Bill Gates hasn’t been associated with Microsoft for a while. Steve Ballmer’s the head there now.

From Engadget.com:

“..Microsoft has finally acknowledged their boo-boo and explains it thusly: There is a bug in the internal clock driver causing the device to choke on the last day of a leap year...”

So I suppose we just wait until tomorrow for it to fix itself.

And seriously, there is NO Apple fan that could possible make a snide remark about this seeing all of the drama they have to go through with Jobs almost on a daily basis.

Gates, Ballmer, Wozniak, Jobs. They're all friggin' space aliens. I'm just another tech support man-slave serving The Hive.

Where can I find a 4GB micro SD card? All the 4GB SD type cards I've seen are microSDHC, not microSD.

Does that MP3 player also support microSDHC?
