Did everyone's alarms go off this morning?

Alarm clock from wal-mart 10 bucks. Never late again

I've got one of those. The piece of shit will only allow you to set the minutes for the alarm between 0 and 9, so I just adjusted the clock accordingly. I could never seem to remember to take it with me to return, and it wasn't a big enough deal to go out of my way to visit that shithole or buy another one.

The alarm works if your iphone is jailbroken.

my iphone alarm worked this morning

[SVT Lurch]

Come to think of it I don't think it did. (I've developed a bad habit of being able to turn it off without fully waking up). Fortunately I also use the old school clock radio so I was still up.

It did go off Sunday for sure though and it's not jailbroken any more.

I let my dog wake me up by whining that she has to go outside. I hate plug in alarm clocks because I've been late to work a few times when the power would go out in the middle of the night.

That's why they have batteries as well.

Yeah, that go out, I hate buying batteries.

Fuck Apple. Never have owned, and never will own an Apple product.

Mine went off this AM I read that only non repeating alarms were affected so I turned mine to repeating

Why do you guys need an alarm?

If you wake up on a normal schedule, your body wakes up automatically.

Yours might, however mine does not.

I have this thing called an alarm clock that like plugs into the wall and has batteries for backup. It pretty much never fails.

I think relying on a cell phone for this is retarded. JMHO

really? my cell phone does the same thing. I plug it in to charge, if the power goes off at night, it has a battery too. It also allows me to set multiple alarms for multiple days.

MWF I have it set to go off at 8am and again at 8:30am
Tuesdays I have it go off at 6:45am and again at 7:00am because I have a conference call every Tuesday
Thursdays I have it set for the normal 8 and 8:30 and then again at 9am, because I have a Change Control meeting every Thursday
Saturdays I don't have it do a thing
Sundays I have it go off at 11:30am so I can check my fantasy team turning football season. So I guess that one will get turned off.

Another thing, I can just turn these off, and enable them again when I need them, rather than have to reset my alarm.

My iphone doesn't run my life, in fact I'm still a bit anti-iphone, but if you work in the business/IT world a smart phone is a must. I carry two actually, an iphone for personal email/text/etc, and a blackberry torch for work. The work phone will be replaced by a Dell Venue when we do a refresh at Dell, it's a windows phone.

I have probably 3-7 meetings a day that have alerts set to notify me, with all of the information to either attend in person or dial in for conference calls.

I guess my phones just are worthless

My alarm has 3 different times you can set. I cannot reach it without getting out of bed, and I have no clue what you mean about resetting the alarm. It goes off I hit a button and go about my business till the next day when it goes off again.

I "personally" do not feel comfortable with a phone waking me up to go to work. If you and others do then cool, carry on.

The subject is not alarms or reminders used on your phone while you're awake.

My neighbors rooster woke me up same time everyday

I think having a cell phone you can't rely on is retarded

So do I, but not as retarded as spending several hundred dollars for one.
I'll take it when work gives it to me, but I have no need for an I-Phone or Turdberry for personal use.
