Why can't Apple get a clock right?

With the clocks about to change again I thought I'd look at a problem every Apple user has an issue with, the clocks.

As a user of a lot of different Mac products, I find one problem amongst all of them.

When the clocks change in my time zone my alarms don't follow.  This goes for scheduled tasks as well. Eventually once the whole world has changed their clocks the majority of these problems fix but not all.

So I ask why can't Apple get clocks right?

I think the answer lies in its global ambition, as clocks around the world don't follow British Summer Times changes of Greenwich Mean Times Apple struggles to find a middle ground. But is that the real reason I don't know.

Personally I think they need to get their act together and find a solution quickly, I can't keep my changing scheduled tasks in Apple Remote Desktop or wake up late for work.

So here and now I ask Apple the simple task of getting their clocks right.

    Hat’s off. Well done, as we know that “hard work always pays off”, after a long struggle with sincere effort it’s done.
