It's tough to get overlap between US, Euro and AsiaPac timezones, but  
it's not too hard to get overlap between US/Euro and US/AsiaPac.  I'm  
not sure about Euro/AsiaPac.  The one thing us US folks have to  
remember though is that while AsiaPac is only about 6 hours behind us  
(modulo daylight savings skew) they're a full day ahead, so US Friday  
evening releases are probably not so good. :)
