Here's the deal with Jack Dorsey's weird 'clock'
CNN
On Wednesday, the CEOs of Facebook, Google and Twitter appeared (virtually) before a congressional committee to answer hours of pointed questions about how their platforms handle misinformation.
But for a few brief moments, much of the internet was focused on a strange clock-like gadget placed just to the right of Twitter (TWTR)CEO Jack Dorsey's formidable beard and his stacks upon stacks of plain white plates and bowls. The clock first displayed the number "1952," then switched to a six-digit number that didn't look at all like a unit of time. Within minutes -- a unit of time this clock seemed incapable of measuring -- the internet had found the answer.More Related News
