Millennials were raised on technology -- they never had to be taught. So if you really need someone to explain what it all really means, just ask Gen-Y geek Josh Taylor, and he'll blog about it (whenever he feels like it).

As most of Australia came off daylight savings time yesterday, there were very few reported iPhone alarm clock issues for people using the latest iOS 4.3.1, but even so, I'm not happy with the update.
