Dumb tech question
There's probably a very obvious answer to this very important question...jeez it almost caused me to miss the radio broadcast! Hmm. Being in Florida I am in the EST zone. My laptop and iPhone both give me my correct local time. However my laptop has you guys 3 hrs behind me -GMT-7 while my iPhone has you 2 hrs. behind. Why is that?

It's because you touch yourself at night.
What? You get a dumb answer for a dumb question, don't look at me.
But seriously... what arsenal said sounds right.

I thought it might be that but it's weird that one does it and the other doesn't. I. mean don't these devices calibrate themselves to the uh "universal clock" (I love hearing that disembodied voice on the radio) It's not DST yet. Grrr.... thanks tho.

yup. better get that topped up. might need to take it into the shop but if you want to try to do it yourself you can get away with just putting it in the bathtub, filling the tub with water then leaving it for 4 or 5 hours. be sure to have it turned on before you leave it though.

Well what GMT is it set @? GMT -7 Arizona is one hour different cause they dont use DST or something like that. Where as we are on GMT Mountain time, which also is -7.
Its early, but i'm pretty sure thats whats happening.

Actually, we are currently on UTC-6. We return to UTC-7 on the first weekend of November when daylight savings time ends.

Don't be a wise guy. It begins when the newspaper has that little clock on the front page......  Go bring Miss September a drink or something okay?

Okay I found out why...with no help from YOU fricken geniuses, although I'm sure Photon would know. It's due to the Safari browser on the iPhone. I thought that could be the case, so I switched from the Explorer browser to the Safari browser on my laptop and got CP through there. Sure enough...same time as the iPhone. You guys are more annoying than the guys on my hockey team!!! GRRRRRRRRRRR
