Do moving clocks really 'tick slower'?
2008-10-06 06:00:00 We know the relativistic view: "moving clocks tick slower than stationary clocks". We also know that Einstein's Special Relativity (SR) demands: "there is no absolute movement, only relative movement". This tells us that when two clocks are moving relative to each other, we can view any one of
Grandfather clocks are not just for grandfathers.
2008-09-10 13:30:00 I like the new contemporary grandfather clocks. There, I said it. I'm not ashamed, either. I know most people think "grandfather clocks" and then think "old, stuffy room with overstuffed chairs and probably a guy that smells a little bit like Triscuits dozing in a chair." Which isn't fair -- I don't smell like Triscuits. Okay, just a little. But most people think that grandfather clocks have to be old and stuffy and boring, and look down on people like me who don't believe that, and who smell a little like Triscuits.But grandfather clocks have come a long way from the olden days (2002). They've got contemporary grandfather clocks now, like this one:There's some obvious things about that clock -- like, it's beautiful, a stunning work of art -- and some not-so-obvious things, like "it's on sale now for nearly 1/4 off" at 1-800-4clocks.com"1-800-4clocks-.com has tons and tons of grandfather clocks, both literally and figuratively (because some of the clocks are heavy, get...

Clocks
2008-05-23 06:21:00 Mom told me my first word was “clock”. Not "mama", not "daddy", but "clock". Weird. She said I had a favorite clock that I was kind of attached to. I even took it apart, after which it never worked again. I don’t recall any of that, of course, but as an adult I learned the value of clocks, and the value of being able to estimate time without one. Such talent comes in real handy in broadcasting. My kids aren’t so time-conscious. One doesn’t quite get analog time, even though most of our clocks have old-fashioned dials. If I say it’s 15 til, she doesn’t know what that means. If I say it’s 7:45, she knows she’d better hurry to get to school. Sigh. The Fly and the Cuckoo Clock How Super-Precise Atomic Clocks Will Change the World in a Decade.

Silent Cuckoo Bunker Wall Clocks
2008-05-21 15:25:00 A solemn wall clock, making a depressing testament to the stark fear and horror of war. A silent cuckoo stands upon the bunker, an army helmet resting upon his head. In this silence, a hollow feeling is generated, to remind us of the loneliness of loss and struggle. The bunker itself is crafted from 111 individually assembled bricks. The surface of the piece has a jagged, irregular texture, that makes shadows seam sharper and more menacing. Against such a surface, the hands of the clock itself are almost lost, buried in the dense symbolism of the clock

8 Things You Never Knew About Clocks
2008-05-21 13:18:00 The hourglass, one early form of a clock, can still be found in use today in modern egg timers. These egg timers not only time how long it takes to boil an egg, but are filled with sand made from ground up eggshells, making their name doubly accurate! The National Institute of Standards and Technology boasts the world’s most accurate clock. NIST-F1 measures time by using an array of infrared lasers to count the vibrations of cesium atoms, which are then used to define the length of a second. This clock is so accurate that it would take over 60 million years of continued use for it to lose or gain a single second. On the clock Big Ben, the cast iron frame of the clock face was designed by AW Pugin. The Big Ben in London is actually the name of the Bell inside the tower and not the clock itself. Clocks’ hands were designed to mimic the sundial, the way the shadows were cast on the sundial in the western hemisphere. Clocks turn clockwise because the shadow on sundials on t...

2008-05-19 22:40:00 Decimal time is a system of timekeeping that is based on the number 10, rather than the numbers 12 and 30.

Apparently, Nvidia plans to clocked the 9800 GT card at 600MHz, like the 8800 GT and same goes to the memory clock at 900MHz and shader clock at 1500MHz. The VGPU is at 1.05-1.1V and on G3-256 package. As we have said before, there will be two versions; one is on 55nm and the other is on 65nm, both same clocks. So how do you tell it is 55nm? Look out for G92-280-B1/H markings on the GPU or look out for 0×0605 device ID in Windows."

Biometric Time Clocks
2008-05-15 03:20:00 by: Elaine Ester In the fast-paced business environment where competition is stiff, companies need to protect themselves from espionage and piracy.
