I searched the site just to see how much that ring costs, and I can't find it. Am I just looking in the wrong place, or are they already out of stock? If so, how many were there to begin with?

There is a flash version...

By the way, it's all hour hands, no minute hands.

It truly is digital; no need for quotes. I see digits, don't you?

I didn't mean to sound like I was complaining. I just wish there were posts about "minimalistic this" and "minimalistic that" instead of so much steampunk. Yeah, I know how to skip over stuff; that wasn't the point of my post.

What's this obsession with posting about "steampunk this" and "steampunk that"? Frankly, I prefer minimalism over steampunk and have no interest in steampunk. Should I just unsubscribe from Boing Boing, then?

From the everyday consumer standpoint, yes, it seems like an evil plot to make you buy your fundamental rights. But look at it from the film and music industries' sides. The music industry has already gone down the drain because CD sales have plummeted. One person buys a CD, rips it, makes it publicly available, and everyone else who wants that CD needs only to look for a free copy. The film industry knows it's only a matter of time before they're next, with technology growing and getting cheaper.

How can you expect these industries to survive when we're taking their products and giving them away to everyone else for free?
