We try to use 11:59 PM instead of Midnight because there is a lot of confusion about whether “Midnight” is the last minute of the old day, or the first minute of the new day. As you can see, the date was late night (11:59 PM or 23:59) Pacific time on 29 June.

Well, every (standard) digital clock these days, e.g on your desktop PC/laptop, etc, treats midnight as the first minute of the new day. I would think that’s more reliable than any arguments people may have had throughout the ages. :p

Regardless, many people feel like midnight is something associated with night (PM), rather than morning (AM). Something that also contributes is 12-noon (associated with day) and 12-midnight (associated with night). So, there is often confusion. =)

I think we’ve gotten a little off topic, but I did send kudos to our Marketing Team for using 11:59 PM and 12:01 AM.

Interesting info here: http://www.nist.gov/pml/div688/times.cfm#midnight and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock#Confusion_at_noon_and_midnight.

Since we’ve wrapped up the intention of the thread, I’ll go ahead and close now.
