[quote=Yahoo News]A Nexus 10 owner has discovered a bug in the system of his new tablet.
No, really, a real bug in the system.
[url=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041804]On the XDA-Developers forum[/url], a user from Singapore who goes by the alias 'tanzhjoash' has posted photos of an ant he spotted crawling around inside his Google Nexus 10 tablet, between the LCD screen and the glass. According to the post, he says that he didn't notice the ant for the first few days he had the tablet, but "after 5 days of use, I came home one day and found this ant stuck under the glass screen of my N10."
The user says he'll be shipping his device back to the U.S. in hopes of getting a replacement (which other users seem pretty positive he'll get, since it's such a strange situation).
As for how it got in there, [url=http://mobilesyrup.com/2012/12/12/a-bug-in-the-machine-ant-gets-caught-under-customers-nexus-10-display/][I]Mobile Syrup[/I][/url] offers a couple of explanations: First, the screen is built with a small air gap between the glass and LCD, which is apparently just big enough for the tiny ant to fit. Second, there have been complaints of poor build quality by Nexus 10 owners, which could potentially result in the ant slipping into a space in the casing.
Other XDA-Developers forum users think the ant might have been there since production, and have even suggested the original poster should identify the ant to see where it came from. Unfortunately, he'll have plenty of time to get a good look at the ant — the bug moved into the centre of the screen and died there yesterday, he posted.
Here's hoping he can "work the bugs out" soon.[/quote]
there've been some pretty bad quality control issues with this latest generation of nexus devices; I guess that's what happens when you make things on the cheap

Ants are assholes, I hope it suffocates.
Dead pixels are annoying enough already, this would probably just [b]bug[/b] the fuck out of me. But hey, let's not try to [b]ant[/b]agonize Google here, they've got enough [b]ants[/b] in their pants right now.

You're trying to hard.

Yeah, I guess I am trying to carry several times my own weight with these puns. I'll leave it to you guys.
I considered getting a Nexus 10, but I heard of the build quality issues and I want HSPA on it. I can wait. Until then my Nexus 7 does well.

these are bad okay
you can stop now
regardless how does an ANT even get into the production line just like that
surely someone would've noticed

I've gotta commend your persistence.
Its funny because this is where the term bug came from, back when computers were mechanical and actual bugs clogged up cogs and shit.
I think.
My DS and GBA both have creatures like that on the screens. I wouldn't mind but the fucker died halfway across and now its stuck there!

The term bug in the context of machinery goes back to the late 1800s, well before computers, but was popularized in the 40s by the tendency for moths to get caught in large vacuum-tube computers.
it's a feature
I'm glad there are ants in my screen, now I don't have to open up google maps to find picnics
whatever haters
It's actually a feature.
My friend once had one of those small bugs you usually find in book pages (those really small ones) roaming around between the glass and the lcd of his laptop, at least that one managed to get to the other side and disappear forever.
Wow, that's pretty bad that a whole ant could slip in there from outside the casing. I can't imagine how much dust buildup there'll be in the screen after owning it for a while.
Reminds me of the old PSPs; every model I had eventually had a ton of dust under the screen.
Good thing the cold winter kills all forms of life here in Sweden so I'll be fine once I get my Nexus 10. Tried it in the store and there was no sign of poor build quality. Samsung products that cost more feel cheaper since they keep using plastic on the back.
