Funny bug in default Phone utility of iPhone

I was trying to find some way to transfer my Blackberry contacts to iPhone. I took help of Google and found a video which helped me to transfer my contacts. So here's what I did.

1. I transferred contacts to MS-Outlook 2010 using Blackberry desktop application
2. After 1st step, I synced my iTunes with MS-Outlook 2010

Once the contacts got transferred, I tapped on default Phone utility of iPhone. Then I thought to review the contact details. I found a weird issue with utility. I found that every contact have entry under Anniversary with text which never exists in my contact details.

Every contact has an entry of January 1, 4501, When I tried to edit the details I found there is no entry above year 2013.

iOS 7.0

iOS 6.1.3

Seems Apple just give feature but never tested it . Even Apple missed this bug fix in 7.0. Seems Apple is not aware about this bug.

Everyone says Implement Automation

Its long time I have not written anything or shared anything with all of you. I thought to write but what?

So here I am with Real Time issue which every Manual Tester face.

Nowdays most of us are aware of word called "Automation", even on job sites we hear of Automation testers required, Do people really know what Automation means ? Client nowdays also use the line "I want Automation".  What happen then? Our so called Project Managers also shoots an email stating "we need to automate ABC Project" Are they really aware where Automation should be implemented or not? 

No, they don't know a single thing (When project manager is Non-technical). What to do ? Testers who just do manual testing comes into pressure and keep thinking their role is going to end. Is it? 

Before shooting such emails to Team one should do some analysis whether automation is feasible for project ABC or not , If yes what can be Automated because 100 % projects can't be Automated , also projects that have frequent changes can't be Automated .

Also Manual testing is needed even after project gets Automated because Scripts can't think their own. 

We should make our Managers aware first what's the difference in Automation and Manual terms .
