Events of the last few days
by Volker Weber
A couple of things happened, that were not important enough to get me to post here. Too lazy. :-)
- On December, 31 all Zune 30 around the world froze. All five of them. Turns out it is a calendar bug. Leapyear, hint hint. Can you spot the error in the code?
- I got a Sanctuary for Xmas. Ute may use it as well. :-)
- Saw a great movie on Youtube with a cat and dog. Can't find it anymore ...
- Watched George Carlin again. Soft language indeed.
- Updated the firmware on five BlackBerrys yesterday: 8100, 8120, 8820 (all .124), 9000 (.217), 9500 (.85). Nothing else shows the speed difference between 8xxx and 9xxx as well as the update process.
- The Apple TV served us well over the holidays. Ever since I downgraded to 2.1 and installed Sapphire, it slowly grew on us. Also tried Boxee yesterday once again, but remain unconvinced. Big benefit of the Apple TV over the EVA: slideshows with "Ken Burns Effect".
- Windows on the Samsung NC10 went kaputt. Would no longer recognize the WiFi card. I was eventually able to repair it. Troubling.
- You really should not yell at your hard disk.
- Genii follows Notebook.de as this month's sponsor. Thank you!
Happy New Year everybody. Don't forget to change your copyright notice.

That's not entirely correct. In fact, it only happened to the 30GB-Zunes:

Ralf, isn’t that what is meant by “all Zune 30…”? ;o)
I may have confused Ralf with the "all five of them". :-)
mhh new storm firmware .85? Cannot see/find that on BB website
It's not released yet. Nevertheless it seems to be better than any released version. Google is your friend.
@Ben, @Volker: my bad! It was too early or i still was not sober. Or both. Sorry.
Did'nt you forget the 25C3?!
Sapphire supports ATV 2.2/2.3 now, too. More...
