It finds lightbulbs.

So here's something which would win me over to Bing right away: let me enter a query like "When is November 6th 3:00PM PST in CET?" and then convert it for me, including daylight savings and whatnot. Neither Bing nor Google nor Wolfram Alpha can crack that enigma for me, surprisingly.

Ok according to this this puts it at 11PM on Friday night here in the UK.

 

I may be there in body but a sober body is in considerable doubt Big Smile

Wait a couple of weeks and it'll work- the failed query shows up in their logs and they fix them.

 

Actually, I want messenger to Remind Me! Setup messenger to notify me on that date.

 

...Actually, darn it, I want a service which remembers and then pings me via messenger and possibly e-mail.

 

...Actually, preferably, it shouldn't live on my local machine...

LOL, well, hilarious twitpic'd pictures of a rowdy UK night (assuming they are PG-13) are totally acceptable Smiley
