so at 1:11 the room is at its dimmest?... or does it compensate?
nice timing there haha.
so what you end up getting is a room that gives you eye aches and appears to be playing lights out with itself.
ahh. beat me to it.
Actually, if you look at the video closely, the first digit always stays on (i.e., mostly at "0"), so it will be dimmest at 11:11.
No, I'm not sour because you beat me to this.
Man...if a korean lady owned this clock...howard stern would make a hilarious phone call
Howard Stern != Funny
and when the its 1:11 does half the room's light go away???
and i get low-ranked umm why?
Because people are slow and don't look at timestamps.
i agree with you
and apparently i get low ranked for asking a question. -.-
You got low ranked because you're a moron who uses more question marks than necessary.
you also get low ranked for caring too much about the ranking of an internet blog post.
it would be 13:11....
just take the picture when it gets to....
1337 !!!
umm... 1:11 AM?
@ John
uhh no 1:11 PM
Irritating at best.
myb CTU needs this
Thats what I call a massive overclock. I hope its stable.
That was absolutely terrible but I'm voting you up anyways.
Give that man a cookie!
Hilarious! And should it 'crash' then, duh, it's time to die!
But I like a cookie.
Funny! And equipped with an aroma therapy mister, profitably rebranded as "The Relentless Crush of Thyme"
Seems... oppressive. Giant clock, always staring down at you, reminding you that you've got a meeting in ten minutes with the boss and you haven't prepared.
I guess you're making a joke that the clock is broken?
"...always staring down at you, reminding you that you've got a meeting in ten minutes..."
Always ten minutes away.
now if it only were a stop watch too .....
Are you guys seeing a "widescreen" version of this video that I'm not seeing? I only see 2 digits representing minutes at any given time in the video. I suppose off-camera could be the hours digits. I'm fairly certain it's minutes by paying attention to the fact that some people are talking from one minute to the next - I don't imagine they would be there for hours - of course it could just be coincidence . . .
@ JJV it's because you're not supposed to laugh at your own jokes (specially when they are not funny)
STOP LAUGHING!
How to sell a million of 'em in L.A.? ....replace 'cool whites' with tanning bulbs...
Paris H. to Realities:Unitited PR Veep: "Your huge clock is really in my face... (and, it hertz my eyes...)"
So many interpretations...
The following takes place between 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM...
I wonder if I can tint it Red and make it do the "Ghost In The Machine" Logo from the Police.

The guys at the "fractions of a second" part of the office will suffer from headaches and epilepsy.
The guys at the "seconds" part of the office will develop a deep sense of paranoia.
The guys at the "minutes" will understand the meaning of life and become aware of the universe.
But the guys at the "hours" section will slack most of the time citing "insufficient lighting" issues.
