The battery operated clocks have their own oscillators built into them which are reasonably accurate to within as much as 15 seconds per year, but they're somewhat subject to temperature changes. The electric clocks get their timing information usually from the `cycles per second' that the AC circuit operates. For instance, in the U.S., it's supposed to be at 60 Hertz, or, 60 cycles per second.
Depending on the load on your specific feeder line and at certain times a day, it's possible that the drain on the local generating plant is causing the turbines to slow down a but, which results in your clocks getting the wrong cycles per second and in turn, slowing down a bit.
The other option is simply that your local generation plant is just simply running too slow. Then again, the battery clocks may be operating a bit fast.
want to verify which? Go get the NIST time program for your computer and set it up to query the National Institute of Standards and Time. That's what I use. It's synchronized to the nation's cesium clock and it won't be more than a few thousandths of a second off by the time it hits your computer through the internet.
How long have clocks been around?
Throughout history, time has been measured by the movement of the earth in relation to the sun and stars. The earliest timekeeper dating from as far back as 3500 BC was the shadow clock, or gnomon, a vertical obelisk that cast a shadow. Devices almost as old as the shadow clock and sundial include the hourglass (in which the flow of sand is used to measure time intervals) and the water clock or clepsydra, in which the flow of water indicates passage of time.

In spring wound clocks, the ticking is the sound of a ratchet alternately catching and releasing a gear that both unwinds the spring and causes the hands to move.
Hope this helps.
Millennium is spelled containing two 'l's and two 'n's. By sounding the word out, it is very easy to spell the word, however, many people often forget a letter within the word. Most people forget either one of the two 'l's or one of the two 'n's. Therefore, the correct way to spell millennium would be "Mil-len-ni-um"
There are 24 hours in a day. The first 12 of them are called "am" (from the Latin ante meridiem, meaning "before midday"), the last 12 are called "pm" (from the Latin post meridiem, "after midday").
Of cause if you use a 24 hour clock the terms "am" and "pm" are not needed.

How many years take up one Google seconds?
Google is NOT a number. It is a company name.
A Googol is a large number, ten to the power of one hundred. (Invented by a US mathematician)
A Googolplex is ten to the power of one googol.
It was from googol that the company derived their name.
Note. It is considered by those who think about these things, that there are about ten to the power of seventy-two electrons in the universe.

It depends on what type of clock it is. If you are disposing of an atomic clock you should probably follow established guidelines for disposal of radioactive material.

2) Visually identify the nearest refuse container.
3) Place, drop or throw clock into said container.

How many seconds did it take for Google's 1000 computers to sort 1 TB of data in 2008?
It took them 68 seconds to do so.
It took awhile to figure out what you were asking with this. I assume the u in us should actually be a Greek mu, so the figure you are looking for is the micro-second, which is equal to 1 x 10-6 seconds, or one millionth of a second.
