Hand Written Clock 86

a3buster writes "This clock does not actually have a man inside, but a flatscreen that plays a 24-hour loop of this video by the artist watching his own clock somewhere and painstakingly erasing and re-writing each minute. This video was taken at Design Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach 2009."

It could cure obesity: more muscles increases your resting metabolic rate. Just increase muscle mass to the point where your digestive tract is overwhelmed, and you start burning fat, no matter what you eat. Kind of like the movie "thinner", but this one would be called "muscular". That brings up interesting questions about what happens when your musculo-skeletal system and your nervous system start fighting for calories. The stereotypical big dumb guy? And isn't this gene therapy, where one shot changes your DNA for life? Culturally, this will hit the fitness industry like a bombshell. Billions are spent annually on looking "ripped". Here's the real deal. Pretty soon, you won't get laid without it.

I can get a 32 GB USB drive on newegg for $62.99. So no, it is not worth $500 for the added space alone. How can you people keep doing this to yourself? It's a good phone, but the added functionality isn't work the price. Hell, for $600, the full retail price, you can get a whole MAC Mini, or a Windows Laptop! And neither of those require me to sign a contract with at network as spotty and overpriced as AT&T.
