> This brings to mind an unrelated product design gripe of mine. Two things that I hate about my kitchen are the clock on my microwave and the clock on my stovetop. I've got a perfectly serviceable clock on the wall in my kitchen; I neither need nor want clocks on those displays.

I love them. Well except that they get out of sync, much to my dismay!

I haven't hung a clock on the wall in years.

Likewise I use my cellphone for time.

Why shouldn't I take advantage of the tech that is around me? Know what else I love? That microwaves have a timer feature! It is amazing, I burn so much less food now. And the granularity is second based rather than the "plus or minus a minute" of the old egg timers.
