IIRC, both the ipod and the Zune media players independently ended up with nasty date/time bugs due to errors in open source libraries they used. More eyeballs can be a good thing but given the number of willing eyeballs and the amount of open source code, it seems like the effectiveness of eyeballs on code is going down. Probably still better than just company eyeballs but far from something that should be relied on to filter out defects.
