I have been amused by the postings today that many 30GB Zune players died today. The cause is apparently, Microsoft forgot that there are leap years which have 366 days per year.

I love the item on the www.zune.net webpage. "Trouble with your Zune 30? The fix is simple." If you click on the link, it essentially tells you to let the batteries run out, and wait until January 1st to restart it.

I wonder if Zune owners can get compensated for the fact that they can't use their players on December 31st.

On the good side, Microsoft has promised a fix before 2012....
