This year, the iconic Time Magazine Person of the Year cover slot goes to “The Protestor,” a conceptual idea meant to indicate men and women around the world, particularly in the Middle East, who have agitated for change.

Starting in mid-July, your electric clocks and coffeemakers could be running up to 20 minutes fast, and you probably won’t know why.
For the past 80 years, clocks plugged in to an electrical source have kept time based on the rate of the electrical current that powers them.
