欧洲因iPhone多睡一小时
iPhone gives Europe extra sleep

A bug in iPhone's alarm app has given its users in Europe an extra hour of sleep as Daylight Saving Time ended last Sunday, Oct.31.

A bug in iPhone's alarm app has given its users in Europe an extra hour of sleep as Daylight Saving Time ended last Sunday, Oct.31, reported CNN. The bugged app caused the alarm to fail to adjust to the new time, in which clocks were to move back an hour. "A whole hour of peace and quiet in the office this morning without any iPhone users courtesy of Apple," says a tweet. Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

据美国有线电视新闻网报道，iPhone闹钟程序的一个小错误让整个欧洲的用户在上周日，也就是夏令时结束的当天多睡了一小时。该软件问题导致iPhone闹钟没能自动回调1小时，因此未采用新时令。网上一条推特称：“多亏苹果帮忙，今早那一小时内办公室少了iPhone用户，显得特别安静。”苹果公司没有立即对此事件置评。

※ The glitch highlights what appears to be a trend of people replacing traditional alarm clocks with their phones for wake-up -- not a surprise since trendy people these days use their phones to do almost everything -- from browsing the Internet to planning pregnancy.

※ 这一问题表明，当今使用手机代替传统闹钟已成为一种潮流。不过也不奇怪，这年头，无论是浏览网页还是计划怀孕，潮人几乎可以用手机去做每件事。
