Daylight Savings Time changeover confuses World's Most Advanced Operating System

Tip by DMX, Anonymous | Added 2009-11-01, 11:27 AM | 38 Replies

A thread over on Apple's support boards lit up last night, as a bug related to automated DST changeover pegged most Snow Leopard Macs at 100% CPU usage which lasted an hour. It turns out that the time readout in Snow Leopard's menu bar is the the culprit, rendering the 21st century operating system incapable of seamlessly coping with a time-changing standard that's been in effect in many places since the mid-to-late 1910s.

As the problem subsided, the thread moved on to more productive matters with the appearance of the inevitable post claiming "well, it's a bug, but at least you're not running Windows". One Mac user actually called Snow Leopard out as "Apple's Vista".

The DST bug in particular casts skepticism on Apple's already-dubious environmental claims, with some environmentally-sensitive Mac users wondering how Apple could be so negligent as to cause a CPU spike which contributed to a sizable increase in the carbon footprints of many of their users.

Snow Leopard, which Apple calls the "finely tuned" version of "the world's most advanced operating system", has been coming under an increasing amount of friendly fire by both Mac users and professional computer users in recent weeks due to the emergence of several nasty bugs, one of which has been found to have been actively destroying users' profile data for over 2 months now.

Mac users, while the clocks are moving backward, your told is only moving forward. Welcome to Standard Time.

Have news of Apple getting told? Found a Mac user making an arrogant comment on a forum somewhere? Send it in!
