iPhone Wants To Hang On To the Old Year 104
pdclarry writes "Users of the iPhone have noticed that it is showing December 31, 2007, even where it is already the new year. There have been a number of reports confirming the problem: Bug in Clock, Problem with New Year: My Clock — shows wrong year, Worldclock went wrong for "tomorrow" items."
Confirmed! (Score:5, Funny)
I assume that this surprise (not bug) in the world clock is because the iPhone is so cool that we will no longer be advancing years beyond the year 2007. 2007 will be henceforth referred to the "year of our iPhone". Changing from our current B.C./A.D. [wikipedia.org] system to this now A.i.P. calendar system is the real news.
Happy Year 1 A.i.P. everyone!

Now that it is 2008, you need to buy a new one.

Wait... shouldn't it be 2 A.i.P.? I mean, since the year formerly known as 2007 is now 1 A.i.P. not 0 A.i.P. right?
I can already hear the discussions 100 years from now as to when does the next century really start...

I mean, come on, which is more likely, that some central time authority everyone is syncing to had a glitch, or that an Apple product was in some way imperfect?
Think about it.

This way, 2007 is simply the central point from which you count outwards. Anything prior is negative (clearly, since there was no iPhone...how could anything be *positive* in such a state? It's a wonder we survived those dark ages) and anything after is positive (because we have the iPhone! The time of enlightenment has arrived!)
At least with the iPhone, we're much more likely to witness a second coming...and a third, fourth, fifth, and so on, ad nauseam. Go Apple!

They're expecting you to buy a new ipod/iphone/iWhatever each year. Why should the date change? That's the 2007 model!
