Zune

Proving once again that a social media account in the wrong hands can be a dangerous thing.

RIP Zune.

An update to fix updates to Windows Phone 7 breaks some Windows Phones, strains bloggers trying to avoid lame Microsoft jokes in headlines.

Microsoft made its holiday pitch Tuesday in New York giving a sneak peak at what its gadget lineup will look like.

A month after many details of Microsoft's new Zune HD player were leaked by blogs, the company finally made it official on Wednesday. The Zune HD will arrive in the U.S. sometime this fall and comes with an OLED touchscreen and HD radio among its main features.

The rumor mill says yes, and that it'll be shipping in September.

Microsoft Corp. is laying off employees in the divisions that make its Zune music player, Microsoft Office software, and Live Search site, but not in the group preparing its Windows 7 operating system, according to anonymous postings Thursday by purported Microsoft employees.

Zune owners now have a fix for their failing devices thanks to Microsoft that has posted instructions on how to start the new year off with a working digital music player.

They're back: rumors of an impending Zune phone announcement from Microsoft, this time probably at CES.
