Have you checked the clock on your Windows Mobile phone this week?

This year Daylight Saving Time went screwy. Or to put it another way, Daylight Saving Time goes into effect this weekend. If this were 2006, it would have happened last weekend. You can thank Congress for the change.

All of this might seem like mere trivia if it weren't for the fact that older PDAs, cellphones, VCRs, and pretty much any other device that's programmed to automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time is now wrong. Microsoft issued an update for Windows Mobile devices earlier this year, but we're figuring there's a good chance you just forgot about it and reset your clock when you noticed it was off by an hour this week.

But if you want to make sure your mobile device adjusts properly this weekend and again next Spring, it might be time to download that update.
