Do you realize number always go from right to left? A number like 3217 also goes from right to left, not from left to right. The smallest number is 7 and it’s located on the far right, while the largest number is 3000 and it’s located on the far left.

It’s strange because it works fine on my MBA under MacOS 10.8.2.
Do you using the .qtz or the .saver ?

I’ll stick with an analog clock. It is a “gestalt” device.

Look, that’s a real binary clocks. I love binary clocks and would love to buy a binary clock to use in my living room, but unfortunately binary clocks you can buy on the internet are only half binary.

Those half binary clocks use one column of LEDs for each digit, so 12:06 (like in the screenshot in this article) is displayed like this:
First column: first LED lid.
Second column: second LED lid.
Third column: no LEDs lid.
Fourth column: second and third LEDs lid.

That’s no real binary clock. That’s only half binary. Those clocks should display the time like this screensaver does. That’s a real binary clock. It would be nice if someone made a wall clock which displays the time, just like this screensaver does.

I agree!

With the explanation to me it would make sense being a westerner the digits read left to right??

That correct, otherwise it´s impossible to display i.e. 10:03 …

Should be ( 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 ) , not ( 36, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1

Bottom line…should be ( 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 ) , not ( 36, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 ) as Hugo mistakenly said
