I queried for the current time in California

See the weird phonebook result...

How did the "AM In Time" get into the name of "A Momen", is it a company name?

In case this disappears:

The business is presumably named "A Moment In Time".

Wishelist item:
how about Google calculating

2pm EDT = ? IST

Its just simple mathematics but will be a very handy tool :)

ACtually Rohit, the query should be translated directly into the time zone that is associated with the IP address..

not just calculating time(Zone1) == Time(Zone2)..rather dynamic results based on where the physically query (zone2) is being made from!!
