Too much too fast for Apple?

Fast on the tail of warnings last week about upgrading to iTunes 5.0, it looks like some iPod Nano users are experiencing severely scratched screens. If the reports at FlawedMusicPlayer.com are true, it seems that scratching can occur even when cleaning the Nano with a microfiber cleaning cloth, or carrying it in a shirt pocket (with nothing else in the pocket). However, many Nano owners report they have had no problems, according to this News.com article.

Perhaps more importantly, Apple announced ten security fixes to address Mac OS X flaws that security experts described as "critical." You know what that means... Quit everything, fire up Software Update, and expect to get nothing else done for the next hour while it all downloads and then asks you to restart your machine.
