Time Based Rant
My Blackberry 8800 is a handy little device. It's subscribed to a UK GSM network (the UK networks all have reliable GSM time) and it's a GPS receiver (of course GPS is all about time to the microsocond).
So why does the clock displayed on the front drift four or five seconds in a day?
Tossers.

Secure Timestamp
I enjoyed watching the moon race past some bright planet a little above the sunrise last week. I guess it was Jupiter -- a bit too far along the ecliptic to be Venus.
Over the weekend, there was a news feature about the Mahdi army in Iraq. At one point the camera zoomed in on the moon to show this conjunction closer than I ever saw it. For me, that dated the report better than any digital means -- no encryption, no secure timestamp -- just very hard to fake.

You don't have to work with audit logs to be a GMT bigot. But it helps.
