SNOOZEFEST

It's been way too long since my last report on (CR)Apple iPhone failures, so without further delay, here goes.

Users in Asia and Europe have been reporting that their wake-up alarms have not been going off since the new year, a problem that some have claimed has gone on for three days, now. Many have been turning to their Facebook and Twitter accounts to grumble about missed flights and being tardy to work.

iPhone users  experienced similar problems last fall, when their phones failed to recognize the end of daylight savings time. Users of the new version released last summer also reported antenna issues, which (CR)Apple initially tried to blame on users, saying they were holding the phone incorrectly.

Ok, so let's break this down. If the alarm didn't work on the first day, that can be forgiven. However, if on day three, you're still dependant on a product that has proven on several occasions to be unreliable, then you deserve to miss that flight or be fired from work.
