Be really really on time with the OnTime Ethernet clock

This clock has the potential to solve our perennial problem of having 8 different clocks in the house, none of which match each other and none of which actually tell the correct time. With the, uh, extremely no-frills fashion $195 OnTime Ethernet powered digital clock, we could at least have one accurate timepiece at our disposal. It's both powered (using the same 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard that VoIP phones use) and updated over the network via an SNTP central time server, so it requires no AC wall wart and you never have to set it. Yeah, whatever — we'll still be showing up late. So does this mark the end of the era in which everything conceivable has been
USB-powered, and we're now entering the golden age of network-powered fragrance diffusers and
air humidifiers?
