I don't know wether to applaud them for their quick reaction and excepting full accountability without hesitation, or deride them for letting the faulty hardware make it past QC and into shippments

A minor debacle but troubling at the same time. Are they rushing things out the door prematurely? If so is it a symptom of feeling pressure from AMD's strong sales and good industry buzz of late? Or is this just one of those little SNAFUs that happen from time to time?
