Last fall, iPhone owners were hit by a daylight savings alarm bug, which allowed them to sleep in, even if they didn't want to. A work-around was put into place (by setting a new alarm each day — no reoccurring ones), but users were still skeptical about the effectiveness. Be warned — daylight savings time is here again (we're all "springing forward" this weekend), and if you're not willing Read more
