n.— «Apparently Zune 30s across the globe have suffered a simultaneous crash, coining the term “Z2K9,” even if 2009 hasn’t officially rolled around yet. Purportedly, starting at approximately midnight last night, Zunes with the latest firmware froze when they were turned on, just as their loading bars filled.» —“Z2K9?: Zunes everywhere freeze at midnight” National Post (Don Mills, Ontario, Canada) Dec. 31, 2008.
