I love blaming things other than me for being tardy.

Now, if they can find someway for the iPhones to "eat" homework, the school kids can use it as a blame source too!!

Right, I could be wrong, but seeing as the clocks just went BACK, wouldn't the alarm wake you up an hour early?

This scenario actually happened to me once when I lived in Arizona... which DOESN'T observe DST.

Except in my case I ended up going in an hourly early. From then on I simply told to never update daylight savings time.

They were supposed to go back, but didn't. Thus the hour late.

I'm glad I saw this. Lisa uses her iPhone for an alarm clock. It's liable to get her if they don't fix it before next week.

Well, that's my point. If your alarm is set to go off at 6am before the clocks go back, making 6am the new 5am, and your alarm goes off at the old 6am, that's still the new 5am. Thus making you an hour early. Or do you mean that the actual time didn't change, but the clocks on iphones did?
