Default Argentina cancels DST

Just an FYI, as of about an hour ago, Argentina has cancelled DST for this year. Get ready for some chaos over the weekend. They were scheduled for the clock change for Sunday, so they waited until the eleventh hour to cancel it. Sigh.

10:09 am ? It’s official, there will be no daylight saving time this summer.|Momento 24

Argentina Prepares for Daylight Saving Time

Don't cry for Argentina then.

Glad we're not an international company.

By the way, the workaround for the BlackBerry is to manually change the timezone to Georgetown (-3) on the device. RIM has no current plans to release a one-off update, although I would imagine it will be included in the next timezone update.

Microsoft's workaround for Windows systems is to remove the check for 'Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time' in the Time/Date options.
