A glitch in time: iPhone bug should end Daylight Saving Time

I read a lot of news. When it's slow, I even read CNN, like this article about an iPhone glitch that Steve Jobs will soon tout as a feature.

It seems the iPhone doesn’t handle Daylight Saving Time so well, but there’s a way to fix it.

But why make iPhone users, and those with antique wall clocks and fancy chronographic wrist ornaments, go through the hassle?

Since so many people own iPhones, and they are the coolest, smartest people on the planet, we should ditch DST entirely.

As a kid, I learned from a dusty H.G. Wells tome that tinkering with time leads to disaster. And don’t even get me started on Star Trek episodes. Images from “The City on the Edge of Forever” are burned into my soul, and not just because the pre-Dynasty Joan Collins looks so fetching through a fuzzy filter.

How many man-hours are wasted each year by people trying to reset clocks? I tossed the VCR and its cryptic, blinking timekeeper years ago, but every six months I have to bust out the Mazda manual to figure out how to temporally align myself with society.

As a form of protest, I am showing up an hour early to work Monday. I’m sure someone in your office will too. There’s a good chance they have an iPhone.
