Its not as bad as it looks.

This problem was even evident in Windows, try switching your system date to more than 2038 or similar date.

This problem is circumvented by using 64-bit libraries and its not a bug in the liternal sense its simply a limitation, a known limitation.

I don't see major problems arising out of this. News mags are just making an issue out of a simple computer concept.
