Nice to see that they're going to place new accounts on 'probation' of sorts to (try and) prevent name-squatting.

http://www32.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=12am+EDT automatically detects your time zone and tells you your local time for that event, in case you're too lazy to determine it from the countdown on the official page

Edit: nevermind, I just saw they added that to the official site already, my bad - I only went there and saw the big countdown, didn't read the small-ish stuff above. Sorry again.
