Since the time change, I’ve been having an issue with the clock on my Aspire One. Everytime it sleeps, the clock is exactly one hour in the past. It wasn’t a timezone problem, since running date correctly showed the time as EDT
The fix for this is to run the follow two commands:
$ sudo ntpdate us.pool.ntp.org $ sudo hwclock --systohc
This will sync your hardware clock to the time from the network time service.

These instructions are specifically for Acers running linux. If you have linux, all you need to do is open a terminal prompt (normally found under the system submenu) and type those commands.
If you’re running windows, try looking in date/time preferences. There should be an option for “daylight savings”.
