@ Ashish : I'm talking about maintaining the time server, it won't be hard for these kind of companies. At least these companies won't have issues in maintaining the servers and if they can't then I really wonder that which company can!

Google maintains it and that's why we didn't get the date problem in GMail, so I hope won't be a problem in Yahoo and Skype too...what say ?

@ 100rabh : What can you expect from bloggers @ work :P

I would not agree with you on this. Why server based time is not maintained is so people when see the time suits there timing instead of seeing the server time and checking the difference.

Moreover it will be overhead if they work according to server time. Imagine millions of user and the application keeps doing to and forth to server for time. It will be load on the time server

For gmail its faster and you get to see right becuase you are logged on to the server for checking mai . However for desktop clients like yahoo messenger and Gtalk its bot be fesible
