Users who set their iPhone alarm for a single wake-up rather than recurring use found the alarm didn’t go off with the year’s arrival, Apple Inc. spokeswoman Natalie Harrison said Sunday.

A fix is in the works, and all iPhone alarms will work properly starting Monday, she said.

The glitch affects iPhones using Apple’s latest iOS 4.0 operating system, including earlier versions of the smart phone whose users have downloaded the latest software.

It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the alarm problem, or how many iPhone users were affected. Online postings on blogs and social media sites described people being late for work, church services and other appointments on Saturday and Sunday because of the problem.

There is already a large supply of monitors on the market after the big push for the World Cup earlier this year.  Now stores need to move those left over inventory.

So don’t be surprise to see 32 inch LCD going for $300.  I have seen 50 inch Plasma advertised for $699 so left the bargains begin.

If you are currently using Window XP, upgrading to Window 7 may require some difficulty.  You can go to the window website and download a application that will see if your computer has everything necessary to run Window 7.

Accordingly to Microsoft, they seem to only recommend upgrading from Vista.  So do your research if your are currently working with XP.

At the end of the day, Window 7 looks great and is highly recommended.
