It is Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight Saving(s) time.

daylight savings time makes no sense. Everyone in the world should turn our calendars back 10 years so we can all be 10 years younger. Then 100 years later we can turn them back 10 years so everyone gets to live 10 years longer.

As the first poster mentioned, it is daylight SAVING, not daylight SAVINGS time. I figured a tech site would be a little smarter than this.

This article is wrong; it's not everywhere. Arizona and Hawaii do not observe DST. The time stays the same there all year around. They don't buy into this artificial bullsh*t.

Numerous errors. Please do some research on the topic, as it's really not that hard to find.

As already mentioned, it's 'Daylight Saving Time,' without the extra 'S' on 'Saving.'

The United Kingdom and France are on the European Union schedule, which does not change its clocks until 29 March 2009 at 01:00 UTC (at the same instant in all time zones, unlike the North American method).

And again, most of Arizona, virtually all of Saskatchewan, and all of Hawaii do not observe DST and thus do not change.

'At 02:00 AM local time, depending on where you live, you will need to move the clock forward one hour. Other parts of the world will move back one hour, and some remain the same.'

So if you follow DST - change the clocks. Some places will change, some will not. Obviously if you do not follow DST you will not change. It's already mentioned.

Notice the link to the timeanddate.com? Again, that page list's every place that changes. UK and France are both listed on the 8th. Maybe not all of the UK and France but it is listed there.

Not sure about the Saving(s) time thing. Maybe an overlook?

Google posted you here. Time change is the issue?

I think the issue in financials is Google voted Obama. Do people wonder why?

The article clearly states which areas will not be changing times.

'If you live in Hawaii, Arizona, Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Midway Islands, or Mariana Islands, there is no DST change needed.'

I recommend you read the entire article before you comment. Sheer ignorance.
