Curious to know what caused Apple’s iPod rival Microsoft’s Zune 30GB frozen issue — here is for those technical minds.
If you are a programmer or know a bit of C-Language code then here is piece of code that made Zune stop working :
year = ORIGINYEAR; /* = 1980 */
while (days > 365){ if (IsLeapYear(year)) { if (days > 366) { days -= 366; year += 1; } } else { days -= 365; year += 1; }}
On 366 th day the “if (days > 366)” will stop subtracting anything if the loop happens to be on a leap year. That’s where it enters infinite loop.
Come 2012 we will see this problem again.
