Hi, I just discovered a bug in iCal when dealing with 12 noon. I have  
an event scheduled in the morning. Next, I have an event that starts  
at noon. iCal places the noon event ahead of the morning event on  
the . This bug probably has to do with the widespread confusion of  
what midnight and noon mean: 12 am or 12 pm. The exploded Day view  
explains the extent of Apple's confusion: midnight is equated to 12  
am, which is followed an hour later by 1 am. Noon, apparently, is at  
12 pm, followed an hour later by 1 pm.

Stupid!
