My department (IT) spent over a year checking code to make sure we didn't have any dates in programs that wouldn't work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-gmail-leap-year-glitch-is-too-hilarious#post-554975 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 05:07:52 +0000 ManidipaM 554975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carole, I'm glad you changed your passwords. That sounds far more sinister than a date glitch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-gmail-leap-year-glitch-is-too-hilarious#post-554963 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 04:41:00 +0000 Carole 554963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spooky! </p> <p>I got a message that someone was using my Facebook account in Dubai, so I had to change all my passwords. Maybe that had something to do with leap year too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-gmail-leap-year-glitch-is-too-hilarious#post-554961 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 04:38:50 +0000 ManidipaM 554961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I woke up to my husband telling me to check my computer clock, because it seems to have been reset... </p> <p>Eh, whatt???</p> <p>Well, he'd just turned his computer on, of course, and I was up late last night browsing (he was watching a horror movie). So this morning Gmail just sent my husband a message from me --- dated 1970! </p> <p>Now you can see where this would be a problem after a long night watching horror movies, given that I wasn't born until half a dozen years later... and he was born even further along the timestream!</p> <p>Turns out the leap year has Google very confused! </p>
