jQuery FullCalendar timezone syncronization



I am using the jQuery Fullcalendar plugin (http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar). I am only using it for "full day" events. When the user creates an event, I store it in my database via php as a date (2012-01-12). When sending the list of events to FullCalendar via ajax I convert the date to UNIX time.





The problem I am foreseeing, is the case where say the server is in the US with a US timezone, and the client is in Europe. The server sends an event for 2012-01-12 00:00:00 (US Time), which gets converted to a unix time. Then the client may see an event that is at 2012-01-12 08:00:00 (8 hours later).





How can I make sure that if an event is at midnight, then it's at midnight EVERYWHERE - no need adjust any timezone. If a user creates a full day event on January 12th, I need every user around the world to see it on that same date as well.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
