I get updating the clock app, what I don't get is why update it like this and why would it take so long that the user felt the need to complain? Also we are getting the update ready for you? So they're stopping the user use the clock app while they download and prepare the update? Has updating the app even started yet?

    downloadUpdate();
    sleep(10000); // 10 seconds should be enough time for the buffer cache to finish writing to disk even on the slowest system.

    Eh I've seen much worse. At least it's not:

    if (condition) 
    {
      doTheThing()
    } else
    {
      doNotDoTheThing()
    }
    

    For some reason I hate the brackets taking up a whole line it just looks terrible.

    I think windows has a feature where it gets the update for other neighbors with windows. this might be why the extra lag.

    oooorrr... as EA says, "to give the user a sense of accomplishment" ~
