Product Description
Take a high-performance PowerPC G4 processor, add a wide-screen display, and enclose it all in a lightweight titanium case. Apple has just created the PowerBook G4 - and redefined portable computing. If you need the utmost power for creative design, education, or business, the PowerBook G4 is ready to provide it wherever you go. Making a notebook computer the slimmest and lightest in its category shouldn't have to mean making compromises in performance and functionality. What makes a supercomputer "super" is its ability to execute at least one billion floating-point operations per second. It's a staggering measure of speed known as a "gigaflop". In addition, the PowerPC G4 can perform four (in some cases eight) 32-bit floating-point calculations in a single cycle - two to four times faster than traditional processors. The PowerPC G4 with Velocity Engine works with the PowerPC architecture to accelerate the data-intensive processing required by next-generation video, voice and graphics applications.Among the G4 key features is a vector permute function capable of rearranging data in the registers - a priceless benefit when converting data from one format to another (often necessary with voice, video and graphics applications, which typically need to save data in a number of different formats). These vector-processing acceleration advantages give the G4 microprocessor a significant edge when it comes to fast visualization of large data sets and intensive math for real-time simulations, making the PowerPC G4 perfect for everything from digital video, graphics and 3D games to astronomy, the biosciences and predictive modeling.

Poor timekeeper.......2007-05-18

I got mine from Woot and had trouble with it from the git-go. The tiny manual is poorly written and not clear.

The watch does not reliably synch daily with the radio signal as advertised. Today for example, it is reading an hour off--possibly because it has defaulted to the DST mode. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't waste my money or time on this item.

Where's the beep?.......2007-05-08

I too got one of these on Woot and mine does not receive the much vaunted radio signal to sync with the exact official time either...maybe Woot was saddled with defective units that have nothing to do with what Amazon has to offer, but you'd think that Fossil, no discount brand they, would produce a better product and police the distribution of clunkers.

Too Heavy & Too Big.......2007-04-22

Be aware - this watch weighs 156 gms (5.5 oz) which is approximately double what most watches weigh. The watch body itself is equally large and awkward. Perhaps the watch needs to be that large to house all the electronics to receive the time radio signal.

I will have to take the word of the previous reviewer that the watch does not set the time zone as other atomic clocks do by using the radio signal, because my watch has yet to successfully receive a radio signal. It is currently off by 6 minutes and losing a few seconds every day.

I would return it, but I got it on woot (for $24.99). Perhaps this will make a good emergency gift for someone I do not like very much. :)

Excellent product!!!.......2007-02-25

I'm a time freak, and love atomic clocks and watches. This one has all the bells and whisles I was looking for. It is also large enough to read for those with poor eyesight. I also like the three charactor letters for day of week feature.

Uncertain time keeping.......2006-03-24

I was anxious to receive this watch, as I was making a trip across the international date line. I was disappointed, as day after day it lost several minutes before I even left home. Each time it required several minutes of button pushing before it would re-synch, and even then it had to "see the sky" to synch. Once on my trip, it changed by about an hour and a half, and I nearly missed a plane. It went to the bottom of my suitcase for the rest of my trip, and I've asked for a refund.
