If they are aligning product releases globally, have they taken International Timezones into account?

Midnight launches? Taking a page from Apple and not allow sales until 5pm a la iPad 2? Or just a plot to further annoy the Aussies?

Possibly, there are comparisons made between the two.

Maybe GW are thinking of there launches as such an epiphay that customers will be enraptured.
Hence it will start in the middle of the Pacific somewhere between Tracy Island and Jurassic Park and work its way around the globe.
Flaw in my thinking is that it would allow Aussies to tell the rest of us the latest on the Internet. GW would not allow that.

Only thing for it is for GW to buy the internet.

Or employ China to hack our internet accounts. Whichever is cheaper...

I saw that comment was well. My first thought was 'When weren't they aligned?'. I mean doesn't everything come out at the same time anyway? How does fething with WD's release date and not telling anyone what's coming out change that?

I'm sure it must "increase corporate synergy to better maximize customer satisfaction matricies and promote fiscal improvement to further profit potential."

Ah. Right. Corporate buzzword salad. Well it's where 'Finecast' came from, so it makes sense.
