This morning's commute was unusual, starting with my watching a recording of yesterday's opening MotoGP from Qatar on my HTC Desire rather than reading. And then after the train had made its stop at Southampton remarking to myself that fewer people were on the train than normal.
And even less so after Winchester.
I put it down to maybe people being good to themselves with a planned day off after last weekend's shift to British Summer Time. Oh the humanity of that lost hour!
But then I read this...

The iPhone calendar bug can't be responsible for there being fewer commuters this morning, can it?
There's some reassurance to be had that despite comparatively unlimited budgets (one assumes) and well deserved reputation for excellence even the world's most iconic brands screw up now and again. Perhaps this indicates that Apple has greater testing focus elsewhere than calendaring but then failure here was due to an edge case, albeit one which has had a high impact on many people.
Not least South West Trains.
