Now there's a weird situation - is your local in the east or the west - so if you take your laptop with you Google will Never know where you are - that would mess with location services.....would love to see and experiment with a machine on "the line" (or lets go to the 180 line and see if Windows can figure out the date and time). the ultimate time and space thought experiment.....
