Microsoft’s Integrated Videos and Maps for Driving Directions

20 Oct 2009

Microsoft is playing around with some tech that will make Google Maps look like an old world map that Lewis and Clark might have used. Some people can travel by landmarks alone. Some people can be given a list of streets and be just fine. I’m a landmarks type of traveler… as long as you’ve included the street names too.

Upon restarting the Zune software, you will now be greeted by an all purpose “home page” named the Quickplay page.

Zunes Will Rise from the Dead Tomorrow?

31 Dec 2008

Early this morning we were alerted by our customers that there was a widespread issue affecting our 2006 model Zune 30GB devices (a large number of which are still actively being used). The technical team jumped on the problem immediately and isolated the issue: a bug in the internal clock driver related to the way the device handles a leap year. The issue should be resolved over the next 24 hours as the time change moves to January 1, 2009. We expect the internal clock on the Zune 30GB devices will automatically reset tomorrow (noon, GMT). By tomorrow you should allow the battery to fully run out of power before the unit can restart successfully then simply ensure that your device is recharged, then turn it back on.

Day of the Dead Zune?
