Windows
Mobiles do not time travel



Microsoft
claims that a bug in Windows Mobile which
creates a temporal flux that allows SMS's to appear from the future only
effects a small number of machines.

For a while users of Windows Mobile have been reporting
getting SMS messages from the year 2016. Unfortunately the messages do not
include anything useful like lottery numbers or football results. In fact more cynical people who do not believe in time
travel might have just thought that the Operating system was just screwing up
the date.

Redmond boffins have been investigating and worked out
that the problem appears to be limited to HTC phones running on Sprint's
network. Microsoft said that it is working with its partners to
fix the problem. “Working with our partners” is usually a euphemism for
“it is someone else's fault, but they are such a good customer that we don't
want to annoy them by blaming them.”

Of course it does not explain why the bees are missing.
