    It Just Works...

    Oh dear™

    Apple iPhone 4 alarm clock bug makes scores late for work - Telegraph

    Android FTW!
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

    It's the Millenium bug - just a few years late.

        Oh yeah, I saw it on the news and needed a link.

        How alarming!

            I must admit as a phone my Desire isn't as good as my old Nokia but on the other hand it has way more functionality than my laptop so for that reason I wouldn't want to be without it.

            I don't see it as a phone, more of a mini computer/email client/media player/web browser/GPS/Camera with a phone thrown in.

              I have an Android phone that I got off ebay for about £100. It crashes about once a day. Although it does have a custom ROM so that's probably a large part of the cause. I need to reflash it with a new ROM and see if that helps.

                Oh no! Millions of new media creatives will miss their 11:00 Starbucks meeting with Toby and Miles to brainstorm the new flash intro for the Sunny-Delight-Sponsors-Watercolour-Challenge promotional microsite. How will the wheels of industry keep turning?

                  Not a problem, we've still got iPhones 1 - 3 as our backups.

                    True. But beside the point. The reason that technophobes and consumer victims worship Apple, is that they've been brainwashed into believing the arrogant, over-hyped propaganda that "it just works", and other technologies are fraught with difficulties.

                    I've a Nokia N97 smartphone. It has its shortcomings, but crashing regularly isn't one of them. One of the advantages non-Apple smartphones have is that many apps that you have to pay for with the Apple device are free.
