Tyrant Alarm makes unwanted phone calls

, Jul 1st 2008 Discuss [2]

There have been several overly cruel alarm clocks pop up, the Sonic Boom alarm has been probably the worst, that is until now.  This clock appears perfectly innocent, but it actually uses a bit of negative reinforcement to get your rear out of bed. Every three minutes after it goes off, if you don't shut it off, it will make random phone calls from your cellphone.  That's right, have a number you're hanging onto for sentimental reasons but would never call, it may get dialed. Even worse is if you happen to wake up someone that wasn't ready to be awake yet.  I'm fairly sure that this would be extremely effective to have you bolting to shut it off in time.  This is still a concept design though, so the world is safe for the moment.  It was created by Alice Wang.

The Gelule Clock Radio concept design

, Jun 27th 2008 Discuss [0]

This cute little concept design is definitely not for those that have slanted floors. It'd end up rolling off the nightstand onto the floor the second it got to ringing. Then again that might help you rush out of bed to go find it, so I suppose it depends on your perspective. Read The Full Story

The Digimech clock only looks LED

, Jun 25th 2008 Discuss [0]

Alright this incredibly cool clock has a slightly different take on the usual digital clock, by feeding the plastic strips through to show different times. The backing is clear to allow you to watch the gears do their work if you have a fascination for seeing the insides of your tech toys. Read The Full Story

The Big Time Wall Clock for the absent-minded

, Jun 24th 2008 Discuss [0]

If you have a tendency to completely flake on what time it is, this giant wall clock is a nice reminder to keep you on time. The massive clock is large enough that no matter how busy you get, you can't possibly miss the time. Read The Full Story

The Alba Make Art Clocks may get your artwork sold

, Jun 11th 2008 Discuss [0]

If you're just itching to get your art out there and on some kind of a product, these little Alba Make Art Clocks are a nice chance. Plus for those without artistic ability you can pick up unique looking clocks without having any artistic skill. They had already released the clocks with art already on them, but suddenly decided to give other artists a shot. This seems to be a limited release since there are only 25 of the plain white clocks that will be released so you'll have to get to them quick. Read The Full Story

The Meaning of Time clock lets you choose the overall look

, May 2nd 2008 Discuss [0]

Many of us enjoy those products that allow for us to show a bit of our creative side. Sometimes all those creative juices go completely unused in adulthood. This clock may look like just a boring peg but it allows you to choose the entire mood of the clock. Read The Full Story

The Idea of a Clock II says too much

, Apr 29th 2008 Discuss [1]

First I write up an entirely too complicated scale and now there is the way too wordy clock. Frankly I like to glance at the clock and know the time. Of course I say that and I own a pretty clock that I have to stare at for a few minutes before I can see where the hands are pointed. Read The Full Story

OCZ PC2-9200 Flex II DDR2 Series – World’s Fastest 4GB kit, and it uses DDR2

, Apr 11th 2008 Discuss [2]

I wouldn’t even think of overclocking these DDR2-1150 memory chips considering they already require the use of an intense system of metal fins to dissipate heat and water cooling seems to be highly recommended with two lines going in and two going out of each stick’s processor-worthy heatsink. If you absolutely have to be on the bleeding edge of technology and you haven’t already switched to a board with DDR3 on it, these are the chips for you. Read The Full Story

OLPC – the newest target of overclocking

, Mar 27th 2008 Discuss [2]

I thought for sure this guide was going to involve DIP switches when I read that this computer only has a 433MHz processor. But it didn’t, its all software, or more precisely, firmware based. The requirements are quite low too, you must have an OLPC, you must have a developer key or have disabled security prior to this hack, and you must be perfectly OK with bricking your OLPC if you screw up. The upside is that there is at least one report of someone overclocking their OLPC to 566/233 without having any issues such as system instability or overheating.

Philips AJL308 – now the big dogs are in the Digital Picture Frame market

, Mar 21st 2008 Discuss [1]

Digital Picture Frames were a dream, and a dumb one. This one isn’t much different other than its slightly more attractive, and will probably last marginally longer than some knockoff branded one. Read The Full Story

USB LCD Screen thing wishes it could be a SideShow device

, Mar 20th 2008 Discuss [1]

This weird little USB LCD device can display multiple different metrics from your computer, it just so happens that almost all of those metrics have to look like clocks in one way or another. So, I suppose you could start with its ability to tell time using your computer’s clock. Read The Full Story

NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 – big, beasty, shiny, and pricey

, Mar 18th 2008 Discuss [0]

This is the perfect card for playing your HD video content and Blu-Ray/HD-DVD movies on, and that’s it. Those 256 stream processors, dual GPU’s, and 1GB framebuffer just isn’t good enough for doing anything more than watching movies. Read The Full Story
