The whole thing is bullshit made up for political purposes:

I never suspected he was targeted because he is Muslim. Considering the
things that get kids suspended from U.S. schools nowadays, like drawing
a picture of a gun, I never doubted that he was suspended because
teachers and policemen are all idiots. When I was his age I made a
bicycle odometer which certainly would have gotten me the same treatment
if it was today.

America is going downhill fast. 9-11 let the idiots loose to arrest
anyone for anything in the name of 'homeland security'. But there is
hope, thanks to brave people like Edward Snowden and Julian Assange who
tell the people the real truth, unlike the lying fucking governments who
cannot be trusted.

I assume everyone has heard of this kid and his clock.
http://truthuncensored.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/ahmed-mohamed-clock.jpg

The picture of the clock shows a 9V battery hookup but no battery.
That means the kid either had to plug the clock in or it does have
batteries that are not shown.

If we assume that there are no batteries, can this clock store it's
alarm time? I say no, but I don't know.

If not, that means that the kid had to plug the clock in during class
and also program it to alarm. The clock can not accidentally go off
without battery back up. Right?

It's all now moot, the family is apparently moving overseas.

Here is a little update on Ahmed
http://valleypatriot.com/see-something-say-something-unless/

This guy says that the "clock" was counting down. If this is true, it
means that Ahmed would have to have done something in the way of
programming to get the clock to count down.

I would call something that counts down a timer and not a clock.

I am unaware of any alarm clock today that also works as a timer much
less a clock what was supposed to be from more than 10 years ago.

With out details of the conversion, the guy is a wanker.
That is the claim that news sources for ijit make.
In a tech area, you need to give technical details for any cred.

My alarm clock "counts down" to alarm time.

less a clock what was supposed to be from more than 10 years ago.

Err, plenty of them around, e.g basic snooze button capacity.
I've just retired a 40 year old radio/alarm clock that could be set to
turn on a cassette tape and record to it.
 
Looks like the little terrorist is still in the news:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-34904226

And it gripes me that news stories still refer to the pseudo bomb he brought to school as the clock he "built".

And did the Secret Service let Little Mo bring that "clock" in to the White House without inspecting it carefully to make sure there was no C4 behind the LCD screen?

If this punk and his father have a case, what about the kids that got suspended for pointing a Pop Tart like a gun?

I don't doubt the kid likes to tinker & good luck to him.

What I don't believe is that his father (check out his history) was
surprised about the response. I still reckon the father facilitated the
response.

How good would it be to be a kid today with a real interest in
engineering, science or electronics. Stuff is so cheap and available.
Information is just a click away.

So is the hardware bits.

Utter bullshit. Slapping together pre-built modules is far from
making.

Even assembling a Heathkit was borderline and mere assembly skill
bolstering. Modern crap is even less.

Not in the "Maker Universe". They've deliberately broadened it and dumbed
it down in order to get the masses. At its core, it's not different, and
it depends on the old types of builders for the actual building, but it's
more a social movement, and social movements often want/need to include
people. So "learning to solder" is seen as elitist, they can tape
together circuits (even something as simple as an LED) because the end
result is more important than how you get there. or something like that.
It's conflicting, because nominally it is about "making", yet as a
movement it wouldn't exist if it wasn't about showing off the end results.

The week the "clock bomb" story hit, Make had an emailing about some
related kits in the "Maker Shed", and one was a thing that counted down
time "like a fake bomb". The message of the "movement" is conflicting, no
wonder the kid got in trouble.

Yes. Heathkits were made to be built by anyone, that is what stands out
about them. They'd work on the instructions by testing by people with no
experience, and then improve based on feedback. They could issue
completed circuits simply by having preassembled and aligned modules.
Thast's not a negative thing, it was a good thing (in their case) and one
reason they survived wsa by selling kits to a variety of people. Yes, the
electronic hobbyist would assemble that organ or tv set or boonie bike,
because they were interested in electronics, but so could Joe Average, and
get some saving compared to an assembled item (at least for some of the
history of the company). But you didnt' even need to know how to solder,
the instructions didn't work if you didn't follow them, and what you
learned about electronics came from other things.

The "Maker" equivalent is some preassembled board where you can use
software to "make" things or buy those LED stickers so you can light up
your teddy bear or whatever.
