Happy new year!

The subject line says it all, but here's to 2009. In an interesting bit of news, the 30GB Microsoft Zune player is affected by a feature bug which stops it working past 2008/12/31. Har har. Then again, I'm the guy who purposefully crippled an older version of ShutOff 2000 to stop working past 2007/12/31 and had to issue an emergency update because of it. In my defence, I wasn't expecting people to still be using it, but they do, so there we are! Maybe Microsoft felt the same about the 30GB Zunes.
