computer display + mac mini makes one of these for alot less than $1600...]]>Aug 20th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktwo-gets-an-english-version-our-sincerest/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktwo-gets-an-english-version-our-sincerest/Aug 20th 2009 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktwo-gets-an-english-version-our-sincerest/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktwo-gets-an-english-version-our-sincerest/
If you got the Mac Mini, it would be able to do a whole bunch of other stuff, too. With all those possibilities, people would just get confused and frustrated. The beauty of this is that it's JUST A CLOCK. That's what you're paying for: simplicity.

That said, I would consider dropping like $100 for something like this.]]>Aug 20th 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktwo-gets-an-english-version-our-sincerest/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktwo-gets-an-english-version-our-sincerest/

There's even an unlit "A" right they could have used. Anyway, it's still awesome. ]]>Aug 20th 2009 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktwo-gets-an-english-version-our-sincerest/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktwo-gets-an-english-version-our-sincerest/
Just because *you* would say "It is A quarter to eleven" doesn't mean everyone does. In fact, people most English-speaking countries (including England, y'know, where English was invented and shit) would omit the "a" as they have been doing for many many years.]]>Aug 20th 2009 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktwo-gets-an-english-version-our-sincerest/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktwo-gets-an-english-version-our-sincerest/

Here the Translation. I tried to keep it literal. Even the sentence structure. So don't mind.


Thats Clock Two. The fourth dimension squared. So just a clock. Clock Two tells time with words. It has a square letter-matrix in which some letters are lighted. Time is told in five-minute steps. Now it says "It is five past three". Next it would say "It is ten past three", "It is quarter past three" etc. So exactly how people talk to each other. What time is it? Its Five past three. If you need to know time more exactly you see shining dots at the edges. With their help the minutes are displayed. It is six past three. It is seven past three. It is eight past three. (Translators note: It looks like you ad a minute for every dot). Clock two is equipped with a brightness-sensor, with which it regulates the brightness of the letters fully automatic. That means that in the evening when it gets darker the letters also get darker. That makes it very agreeable. You can always rely on clocktwo to 100%. It receives the European time signal and displays time to the second. You can find further information on the website www.clocktwo.com]]>Aug 20th 2009 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktwo-gets-an-english-version-our-sincerest/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktwo-gets-an-english-version-our-sincerest/That means that "w" is pronounced as "veh". So how do Germans say "v"?
And, given that "v" sounds like "f" when it's part of a word, how do they say "f"?]]>Aug 20th 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktwo-gets-an-english-version-our-sincerest/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/biergert-and-funk-qlocktwo-gets-an-english-version-our-sincerest/
