Europeans wake up an hour late as Apple fails to fix iPhone alarm clock bug

A still-unfixed bug with Apple's iPhone caused alarms in Europe to go off an hour late Monday as the continent switched from daylight saving time, but their phone's alarms did not.

    This is why I use a "dumb" alarm clock. It doesn't do its own DST changes, meaning I have to take responsibility for making sure I wake up when I'm supposed to, not The Jobs.

    Don't normal alarm clocks cost like $5 now a days?

    @ Mr_Canada, yup, you can get an alarm clock for probably 2 percent of what the iphone cost, this is their own fault if they trusted their phone and didn't just set their f'n alarm clocks...morons.

    I've had the same alarm clock for over 15 years now, still waking me up in time.

    Bahahahaha! Stupid, arrogant Appletards. They deserve it! Hope a bunch of them got sacked for being late because of this. :twisted:

    LOL Europe doesn't sack people because they are an hour late! :lol:

    They get 25 paid holidays and sick days paid, so an hour? Meh.

    It's fascinating.

    Don't they realize that sucking on the corporate teat is totally deluding their individuality and rationality?

    Nope! Mindless automatons dreaming of iPads... Or see the only 'alternative' as a Blackberry or some crap.

    They'll keep using the stupid things and keep buying the new ones.

    Apple is a really serious corporate overlord case though. The webcam on your Mac breaks and you got to send the whole thing in.

    All your eggs are in one basket, and Apple has better things to do than worry about your eggs.

    France gives 8 weeks paid and you only work 35 hours a week.

    What brand of computer do you use?

    Windows, I know.

    Total Lack of Operational Alternatives out there unless I want to spend a few months learning the language of Linux.

    Thankfully though my computer isn't my alarm clock.

    And yes it's a legal version.
