"Our live broadcast begins at 10 a.m. PDT." Considering that the entire world uses GMT, and that only US citizens use PDT, they could have bothered to use GMT.

Or better still, they could have detected your location/system time and just put a countdown or your own local time.

- Smirnoff 12y agoUhmm, did you not notice that HUGE countdown timer? That pretty much covers entire world. And, no, whole world doesn't use GMT (talk to Indians and Chinese about what time they use). Also, entire US doesn't use PDT time. You know, some people live on east coast.
- discardorama 12y agoIndians, in particular, make it even more interesting with the extra half-hour offset. :-D

It want's there when I visited. :-( > And, no, whole world doesn't use GMT (talk to Indians and Chinese about what time they use). Also, entire US doesn't use PDT time. You know, some people live on east coast. But they must most certainly know their GMT offset, since it's the worldwide reference.
- k-mcgrady 12y agoThe screen is filled with a huge countdown. You can't add the countdown to your current time and get the answer? If someone is holding an event I would expect them to announce the start in local time - the people that need to know the time the most are the ones that are going to be there, why make it more difficult for them?
- hobarrera 12y agoThe timer was not there when I posted this (my complaint was, in part, that there wasn't one).
