That clock is worth it and a piece of art, if....


If it wasn't the size of a mouse pad.  Look at the picture of the guy playing it, it's soooooo small!  Definatly wouldn't look great on a wall.  It should have been AT LEAST 15"

Has the clock changed?

I remember liking it alot, now I don't really like it much at all. It has what looks to be a translucent plastic shell that I think looks like crap.

I've had the screen saver since it was anounced in the EE thread...

I have it on the laptop I take to work.  notice the game play speeds up and slows down to keep up with the time....

That's sorta odd as it would be simple to make an algorithm that figurs out a contant speed that the ball will be at the sides of the screen every minute.

Yeah, that's a little more than I cared to spend.  In their defense, I'm not sure that I could make that for any cheaper.  But like XtraSmiley said, that thing is way too small too.  Oh well...

What are you guys talking about "too small"


Where are you seeing dimensions for it?

Judging it by the usual sizes of bricks (the wall it is hanging on), it looks to be a pretty decent size for a clock.

Where it says you can switch to game mode, some guy is holding it, and its the size of a handheld system (maybe a bit bigger)

I would guess the size has definitely changed:

Dimensions [wxhxd] : 180 x 120 x 30 mm

The height/width combinations are just a little bigger than a CD case aren't they?
