April Fool’s bug strikes eBaygreenspun.com : LUSENET : Grassroots Information Coordination Center (GICC) : One Thread |
April 2 — The Microsoft April Fool’s Day software bug tripped up eBay.com Sunday, causing the auction site’s computers to not properly adjust to Daylight Saving Time. Every auction that ended Sunday was effectively halted one hour early, costing auctioneers plenty of last-minute bids. A spokesperson for eBay confirmed the glitch, but said the company had fixed with problem by Monday morning.MSNBC
