Who's Stuck With Changing the Clocks?
The iPhone can't do everything. Who's stuck with changing the clocks for Daylight Saving time in your home?

Yet most of us still have at least a few around the house that have to be changed. We wanted to know: who takes care of this thankless chore in your home?
