This sucks, I've been extremely busy these past 2 days that I haven't even had the chance to visit Neowin.net, my primary source for industry news. This was mostly attributed to screw ups by one of my subordinates who made some major mistakes in his code which I had to edit as I was auditing it. Then it was an all day cycle of appraisals that I had to perform. I missed out on the news about the free giveaway offer of the DivX create suite. Not that I had an imminent need for a DivX encoder.
A few minutes ago I read about the continuation of the story on faulty iPOD Nanos with screen problems, where it was reported that the screens would get scratches very easily thereby making them hard to read in a very short span of time. People have also reported cracks appearing on the screens. Apple finally admitted that there may have been a problem a batch of nanos. But at the same time denying any problem relating to the iPOD nano being easily scratched. Deleting posts on the Apple forums, or locking existing posts, Apple has taken a new stance to silence any customer who has a complaint with the design/built of their newest iPOD & the media coverage of the emerging issue.
