I ran across this on a blog:

So how would you do that on your smart phone (assuming you're running the stock OS)?

I also ran across a question at work, about how to change the UTC offset on a time sent in a REST 
request.  Seriously?  It wasn't a question about entering a time in a tool, it was about getting a 
tool to provide a different offset.  Like computers care what time zone you're apparently in.
