iPhone Alarm Glitch

January 2, 2011

Jim Reeves commentary, geek, News , , , 1 Comment

iPhone owners who use the alarm clock feature got a rude New Year’s surprise from Apple.  Users who set a non-repeating alarm for January 1st or 2nd will be met with silence from their device.  A glitch causes the phones to fail to alarm at the set time.   Apple put out an announcement about the problem, but many users were unaware of the issue.  Apple advises users to set a recurring alarm to cover January 1st or 2nd, and that the phone will resume expected operation January 3rd.

Twitter lit up as users around the world experienced the failure, and took to the service to vent about not being alerted at expected times.

No word at the time of this writing on whether there are more glitches waiting in our iFuture.

Some words about the New Year’s surprise here.

I Want YOU - For The US Air Force! Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach

I think this might be a great recruiting poster for the Air Force.  It’s a shame I’m well past the age to enlist!  😉  See other gay military men at NOH8’s website.

Senate Passes DADT Repeal, President to Sign Bill Next Week The United States Senate today passed a stand alone bill to repeal the mis-named “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Don’t Pursue” law enacted in 1994.  In a 65-31 vote, eight Republicans and one Independent voted with the Democratic majority to finally pass the legislation.  It now goes to President Obama to sign into law, which the White House says will happen next week. While the President’s signature will, finally, kill this discriminatory policy as law, … Read More

Ricky Martin

The ostensible reason for this post is to direct you to a The Advocate.com story, about a conservative Miami Florida church protesting a Univision station interview with the pop star, in which he talks about his first gay sexual encounter.  But really it’s just an excuse to post pictures of Ricky Martin.
