Yikes, to say that is bad is understating things.

I just saw this on an IT forum. Like someone said, this is what happens when you try to over-smart smart devices. They end up showing how dumb they are. In a poll done in the forum, many answered companies rush out firmware and products without adequately testing, and leave it to the public to be their beta testers. Without having the control and ability to selectively schedule your own updates, you're just asking for trouble.
