We'll see if this fixes it:

Wish I had the new one. My work got me the last model about 2 weeks before the new ones came out.
I could have had a quad... arghhh...
Ah well, it's a free computer.

I have IPOD touch 16 GB. The date changed automatically and couldn’t change it at all. The time zone is selected correctly but the time is still incorrect. Any solution?

Anyone who thinks computers never fail hasn't used them very much for very long. The difference is in how the company handles failure.
I've had Dell laptops die. I've had HP laptops die. In both cases, it took weeks to deal with, and the customer service process was so horrible that I vowed I'd never buy another laptop from them again.
A couple of weeks ago, the hard disk on my wife's MacBook Pro died. I made the first support phonecall at 8 AM on a freaking Saturday morning. Six hours later, I left the Apple store with a new hard disk installed and a couple of iPad 2's as well.
Six hours.
By the end of the day, Time Machine had flawlessly and perfectly restored everything to the MBPro, resulting in a total data loss of everything that had happened between 6 AM (the snapshot time) and 8 AM when it crashed -- basically, she lost 2 hours of web browsing cookies.
So yeah, Apple hardware fails, just like everyone else's. The difference is what happens afterward.

And I had a screen go faulty on a dell XPS, and had an engineer at my home the next morning to replace it.
3 year next day on site, cheaper than 3 year applecare as well.
Everyone's experience is unique.

Yep, even stuff out of warranty/paid support, I have found DELL to be truly impressive

You never owned an Optiplex then. Google it.

My Dell Latitude LCD cracked to my dismay when it fell down over a fluffy bed.

Perhaps your miracle mineral supplement could fix it.
