Fall...AHEAD????!!!!
Scores of iPhone users were late to work on Friday, after a bug in the software meant the device's alarm clock feature failed to adjust to Daylight Saving Time.
Hundreds of angry comments were posted on the social networking website Twitter about the glitch on the Apple device, which occured even though the rest of the phone's features updated the time automatically.
"Well done Apple - you've made me decide I need to use a proper alarm clock rather than relying on my iPhone," one user tweeted.
"Stupid iPhone alarm clock went off an hour late. What a great start to the week," said another.
Australian iPhone users experienced similar problems three weeks ago, although alarms went off an hour early there rather than an hour late.
Apple said at the time that a software patch was being developed to resolve the issue. The technology giant has not yet issued an official response to the British version of the glitch.
The iPhone has suffered a turbulent year, blighted by problems with its antennae, proximity sensor and security system.
The latest fault can apparently be avoided by using one-off alarms instead of pre-set daily wake-up calls.

Thompson Family Harvest Costume Ideas
1. I thought about wearing a pig outfit with wings for trunk or treat. I'd be "Swine Flew."
2.Here's an idea. Put a toilet seat around your neck and go as "Congresses Approval Rating."
3. Last year my kids went trunk or treating wearing Jammies and Insect antennae. They were bed bugs.
4. My daughter's costume this year is a gift-wrapped box with head and arm holes. She wrote the word "Spirit" on the front. She's a spiritual gift.

New Stroller Recall!
WASHINGTON – Baby gear maker Graco is recalling about 2 million strollers after receiving reports that four infants died in the strollers.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which announced the recall Wednesday, said the four infants became trapped inside the strollers and were strangled. The deaths occurred between 2003 and 2005.
The strollers being recalled are older versions of the Graco Quattro Tour and MetroLite strollers and travel systems, all made before 2007 and distributed by Graco Children's Products Inc. of Atlanta.
CPSC says if babies aren't strapped into the strollers properly, they can slide through the opening between the stroller tray and bottom of the seat - where they can get stuck and be strangled. The commission also said it was aware of five reports of infants becoming trapped, resulting in cuts and bruises, and one report of an infant having difficulty breathing.
The recalled strollers were made before the development in 2008 of a voluntary standard that requires a larger stroller opening between the stroller's tray and seat bottom in order to prevent entrapment and strangulation.
The recalled strollers were sold at retailers nationwide between November 2000 and December 2007.
More information on the model numbers involved in the recall can be found at the company's website, http://www.gracobaby.com.
