   I point my computers at au.pool.ntp.org and their web site mentions that   
   it is possible to come up with variations in time by a few minutes   
   because it depends on the accuracy of the publicly managed servers in   
   that pool.  I was thinking that one scenario could be that your laptop   
   has picked up it's time from an NTP server that isn't accurate.   
      
   Then again, it could just be your laptop is like you, a few minutes   
   short of an hour BWAHAHAHAHAAHA!
