simple, Leap year, they did not program they're Zunes to handle that. The time everyones died was 12pm PST. Wait a day, it should come back.

Would be nice if Microsoft could figure out how to use a calendar. I hope so because I for the first time decided to make a complete custom music inventory lol. I got a sick FM transmitter last night and tried it out around 10pm. Ironically after doing all of this and hours of wasted time. It crashed the next day. I was like what did I do to it!! lol.

Because as a programmer, its not something you think of. If word were to come out that Microsoft delayed a release to fix a problem because of the calendar people would be mad. And when they fix it, nobody reads the bug list to see that it was fixed. Only when things like this happen, do people notice.

Lazy programming or just an untestable line of code? Looks like the people on the forum could solve it pretty easily.

In the design phase it something that should come up, but honestly who thinks of a leap year, and the program not being able to handle it. They tell us to test the far limits, stuff like a month with 32 days, a day with 25 hrs, stuff like that comes to mind, not a leap year.

What about the extra second in this year? Though I doubt that anyone really paid attention to that. I didn't stop my clock for a second to make sure it was in sync with every other clock.

I did! ...ok, no I didn't but I asked everyone I know irl if they had adjusted for the extra bit of time added to the end of 2008, of course I don't specific how much time unless they directly ask
