********************
They say that technology can help improve people’s lives. Well, that is not always the case. In Europe many people got to work late after their iPhone alarm function failed to wake them up on time. Although the iPhone 4 clock automatically updated itself when the clocks went back on October 31st, the alarm function did not. This resulted in people being woken an hour later than they had intended. Lots of over-sleepers from across Europe wrote on Twitter that “iPhone alarm bug made me wake up late!” Apple has said that it will fix the bug, but there are fears that the problem will occur in the US too when the clocks change.(by Prof. Simon Smith)
