ABSTRACT:
A location-aware product includes a location information resource for providing the present location of the location-aware product to within some margin of error, and such present location information is included by the location-aware product in various outputs, including but not limited to, location stamps in files for create, open, and/or modify file operations. In a further aspect, location information may be used in determining the time zone or zones in which one or more operations have occurred, and to provide the basis for updating clocks, or other resources, useful for time stamping of various operations and outputs. In a still further aspect of the present invention, information displays may be sorted by accounting for the differences in times and dates introduced through time stamping of events in different time zones.
