iCal is correct
When you were born, some of the world had a different date on the calendar. Conversely, if you want to congratulate your friend, you may need to call one day early or late depending on where you and he/she lives.
iCal is not correct
iCal is not correct.
The actual point in time at which people celebrate their birthdays depends on what timezone they are in, not which timezone you are in. To deal with this I guess you could individually adjust everyone's birthday - e.g if you are in the US and you have a friend in Britan, you could enter the US date at which their birthday will actually be occuring, rather then the birthday they will be experiencing if they were with you in the US. If they move to Australia, you could go and adjust their birthday again. But are you seriously going to adjust each and everyone of your contacts birthdays each and everytime they move from one country to another? I don't know about you, but I have friends and family all around the world, and many of them are often travelling around. So the best solution is for AddressBook to just keep the nominal birthdate that you enter, and not shift it around. That way when you see a birthday coming up you can figure out what timezone they are in yourself.
No, this is a bug
You would have a point if the birthday field of Address Book allowed us to input a time of birth along with a date. It does not. Therefore, the birthdays should not be moved.
iCal is correct
Also, birthdays should never move dates as timezones mean days in different countries actually overlap. |
