Give me the old wind up alarm clock any day!!!

This will be why one of my friends was late for work

Thousands of iPhone users got a rude awakening for the New Year, a late one, thanks to failed alarms on their phones.
The glitch prevented the alarm from going off on many people's iPhone 4, or those who have updated software on prior models.
Apple Inc. (AAPL) said the glitch, which had to do with the phone's clocks, will be resolved soon, according to The Telegraph.
All alarms should be working properly by Jan. 3, an Apple spokeswoman told UPI. Calls to Apple for further comment were not answered.
Two MarketWatch tests on Sunday of alarms on iPhone 4 devices failed to go off.
Thousands of people were late for work, airline flights and trains, the Daily Mail reported.
The iPhone's alarm system has shown to have problems in the past, including not recognizing daylight savings time, making the alarm go off at the wrong time, according to media reports.
