Computer-Controlled Air Compressor Alarm Clock Pounds Your Head Into Consciousness
The inventor of this head-pounding "alarm clock" is admittedly a bit quirky ("Hi Mom!" cliche, check!), but I'll be damned if I don't give him kudos for inventing the most violent, aggressive alarm clock I've ever seen. More » -

Question of the Day: Are Car Alarms More Trouble Then They're Worth?
As I write this post, a car alarm going off in my neighborhood. Yeah, it's annoying, but that's the price you pay for "security." They go off all the time for no good reason—inconveniencing owners and irritating everyone in the area (including writers trying to concentrate on their jobs). While I understand that it may be a necessary evil for someone with an expensive vehicle, there are still plenty of people out there pushing their beater down the street with the alarm blazing. Sometimes I think these car alarms are more trouble than they're worth. Do you agree? As a bonus question, let us know what gadgets you store in your car. More » -

Helicopter Alarm Clock Wakes You to the Sound of Mechanical Death
We can't speak for everyone here, but when dreaming about surfing the galaxy on our robot jet dog with integrated ice cream machine, the last thing we need is a military chopper waking us up. We don't fear the sounds of this helicopter alarm clock or the cut of its blades that launch into the air—Fido can take care of those just fine—we just fear waking up to a world in which man and his robot dog don't have their marriage recognized by intergalactic law. Here's a clip of the alarm clock in action: More » -

Home-Appliance Alarm Clocks, Wake You by Simulating Real Thing
Forget boring alarm clocks: now you can buy an alarm toy that looks like a washer, and shows bubbles and vibrates like it's on spin cycle to wake you. Or one that looks like a '60s fridge, but has a radio hidden inside, or even a blender that spins and plays '70s game show themes. How about an iron look-alike clock with a speaker on its foot, an FM radio and a plug to connect up your MP3 player? Or a stove version? They're dubbed "Homade," (no, seriously they are) all take AA batteries and are available for between $17 and $20. And you want one, you know you do. [Homeloo via DVice] More » -
