Point 1: To add to the interest and use, the day-night line (dawn, as well as, twilight), should move, on the globe-shaped clock, as near to prevailing actuals, on the real Earth. Else, it would not be of much interest to scientists/astronauts at NASA, and elsewhere, for this particular application…The electric lights should show, only wherever, night prevails, perhaps with slight overlaps into the regions of first light (dawn) and last light (twilight). No lights should show, of course, where it is clearly day.
Point 2: Also, it is recommended, that the clock, instead of displaying the host computer system time, should display the local standard time of the place chosen for the clock, based on the time zone in which the chosen place is located. The user, in any case, is always aware of his own local time from a host of devices, such as watches, cellphones, ordinary PCs, et al. Such improvements, can be carried out, "without" the need for showing the real-time satellite view (as at present, no satellite view is being shown, and status quo is suggested in this respect), because then in case of satellite views (which are generally hazy/clear/ opaque) somebody would also request, for weather-oriented views showing clouds and hurricanes, which will defeat the very purpose for which the clock is made, apart from being, prohibitively expensive! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Desktop Developer Group" group.
