I dont see what is so bad about them. Design wise, they are beautiful. Amazing to look at, and the screen truly is the highlight of the unit. NO matter what anyone says. The video playback is BETTER than that of a DVD. (Well, its bound to on a crisp lil' screen like that). But it truly is awsome.

Some people hinted at it, but this wasn't a virus.

A computer virus self propigates, meaning it can spread with no human intervention.

A torjan (like this) is something that has to be manually run to cause harm. For example, a Mac OS X trojan is very possible, as all you have to do is disguise some application that runs "rm -rf ~" somehow and you have a torjan that nukes your home folder. It can't spread on it's own, nor can it run on it's own.
