    This is by far the most useless, lamest, stupidest thing I have ever seen in my whole entire life. I just ordered 4 of them.

    Seriously though, whats wrong with paper and crayons? Or what's wrong with giving the kid some power tools, a few blocks of wood and let him build his own, geeez. #digitsclock

    I see stoners everywhere buying this and leaving it at 4:20 so they have an excuse to get baked all day. Same thing goes for alcoholics with the "it's 5 o'clock somewhere" mentality. #digitsclock

    Something about this bothers me on a deep level.

    It really doesn't take much to realize that this is a fundamentally retarded product. Teaching kids to read a digital clock? The best part is it comes with a warning- apparently all those small parts are a choking hazard to its intended audience.

    And where's the money going? It's a just a handful of simple injection molded plastic pieces... it's probably made in China and costs $0.75 to make. And they're selling it for $100. How much of that $100 is going into marketing this stupid piece of crap? I mean, nobody's going to buy this thing on its merits alone.

    So we have a stupid product with a high price tag, most of which will go into marketing. I mean, you'll basically be paying $100 to have someone convince you to pay $100 to have someone convince you to .... argh. It's the carbon cycle of stupid.

    Yeah, this is nothing new. But I feel like I'm looking at the epitome of stupid behavior here. Pure essence of wasteful stupidity immortalized in non-biodegradable plastic form. #digitsclock

    It’s kind of like a cross between Puppet Master, Electric Chair, and Stage Mom. None of which are any good… for children.

    You can do this at home without worrying about electric shocks or any additional costs.

    If anyone can get this reference without using google, I'd be extremely impressed.

    I tried googling bing, but there's no point to it, unless I like cherries or the sound a bell makes.

    In reply to Learn How to Build iPhone Apps from Stanford University
    Ever since the App Store was announced, I always felt there was pent up demand for an app that would automatically substitute the term "Grammy nominated" for "Grammy winner" in reference to John Mayer.


    I think most iPhone users would likely pay at least .99 for it.


    Please don't steal my idea.


    Point being, I've been waiting for something just like this in order to be able to build the kind of quality app iPhone users have come to expect.
