Sep 19 2007About Time Clock Isn't Accurate
The About Time Clock, designed by Buro Vormkrijgers, doesn't tell accurate time, and costs $170.
This innovative clock reveals the passing of time by rolling around your desk and telling time in one long continuous sentence. Designed in reaction to our stressed lives, where we tend to plan our daily activities to the minute, this clock simply tells you "It's about six o'clock" or "it's almost seven now". While rolling around your table, the slow but constant, almost meditative motion allows you to relax and maybe even forget about time for a few minutes.
What in the hell kind of hippie crap is that? If I'm two minutes late turning in a report, it's my balls on the chopping block. Minutes do matter. Who needs a clock that rolls off your desk and onto the floor anyways? The only way this thing could be useful is if it read "it's about time for you to get an f'ing clock that works, because I'm just a rolling piece of crap."
A closeup after the jump.

Is there a separate RSS feed where I can just get the gadgets without some blogger complaining how useless they are?

No, but you can pack up your pussy and leave, chump. Quit whining and laugh.

#4, That was awesome. I don't see the point in complaining when you could just as easily not come to the site.

Actually, the clock may be accurate given a smooth surface. It isn't precise, though.

after this amazing product i am eagerly waiting for the weighting scale that doesn`t tell your weight exactly and the mirror that doesn`t necessarily reflect your image.

Surely the point in a clock is so you know the time, if you only want to know roughly what time it just look at the sun and wildly guess, far cheaper...
Also, I've said this before but undoubtedly I will say it again, what the hell is the point in just commenting with 'FIRST' and then not typing anything, what does that proove?

The problem with this is (apart from being totally retarded.) you usualy have a general idea of the time anyway
