Colossal overhead clock tells time, replaces boring light fixtures

Filed Under clever, news, shopping | Leave a Comment

Realities:United has created a device that will likely bring back fond memories of Coldplay’s X&Y tour a few years ago, particularly if you were there for the first 60 or so seconds when a gigantic timepiece such as the one seen above counted down the show’s start. Without getting too reminiscent up in here, the artistsspace commissioned project not only keeps track of time impeccably well, but it also replaces those mundane fixtures that have become an unfortunate mainstay in corporate offices. Now, if only the workday would whiz by as quickly as the one shown in the demonstrative video located in the read link, you’d be all set.

Guy tears hair out over hairdresser’s phone

BERLIN (Reuters) - Police helping a German man track down a nuisance
caller discovered his tormentor for two years was a faulty card payment
system in a hairdresser’s shop.

The 58-year-old man in Frankfurt did not recognize the Hamburg number that kept ringing him and had it blocked.

After several months, he got tired of paying for the blocking service and the calls began again on working days.

Police traced the number to a Hamburg hairdresser whose payment
system dialed the man whenever it accepted a card. Staff were oblivious
to the problem, which is being fixed.

“When he picked it up he got no answer, and there was no response
when he called back either,” said Frankfurt police spokesman Manfred
Fuellhardt on Tuesday.
