That site sums up what I think:

The Internet Time system might seem like more of commercial marketing attempt, than a real system.

They have a strange definition of near.

Cities near Toronto, Spokane Washington 2957km. Hmm, my definition of near must be off.

There once was a man from Rangoon
Who was born 9 months too soon.
He didn't have the luck
To be born by a fvck;
He was scraped off the sheets with a spoon.

Time: the last place the Metric system hasn't gotten a real foothold in!

Go Stonecutters!

No, that's just lame Swatch marketing. It's supposed to be a step forward, but seems to me that a time measurement system that lacks time zones seems to be a step backwards. @500 being "noon" implies midday local time, which means the sun must be shining unless you live in a polar region.

It just doesn't make any sense.

Damn, apple must use that server too because my Mac's clock is identical to that.

My clock dockapp shows it, but I almost never pay any attention to it...

It would make the lives of people in the software industry so much easier🙂 Timezones are one of the hardest problems to solve within worldwide IT systems.
