Samsung Galaxy S Bug Could Reset The Phone When Connected To A PC

A rather strange bug has been reported for the Samsung Galaxy S, one that might be quite dangerous.

Samsung is already working on a fix for the situation, but in the meantime, you might want to be careful when hooking your Galaxy S up to your PC.
