You don't know tech: The InfoWorld news quiz

Dell bets big on IT services, iPhone upgrade makes some users nervous

This week's quiz is brought to you by yet another Tablet PC rumor, this time courtesy of Microsoft and a gazillion blogs. But that wasn't the only game in town. Dell bet big on global IT services, iPhone upgraders got dealt a bad hand, Netflix tossed a few chips to math geeks for improving its recommendations engine, and the FCC went all in on Net neutrality. Can you bluff your way to a perfect score? Give yourself 10 points for each correct answer. Now shut up and deal.

1. It's not just Snow Leopards that suffer from unsightly spots -- Apple's iPhone 3.1 OS upgrade has also had its share of blemishes. Which of the following is not one of the problems OS 3.1 is allegedly causing?

a. Sends iPhones into "coma mode"
b. Sucks the battery dry
c. Shuts down randomly
