MIB MP3 Alarm Clock

MIB MP3 Alarm Clock 04/01/2005 10:59 AM

Continuing with the USB memory news today is MIB and their "Wakeup+" alarm clock. The Wakeup+ really isn't the first time we've seen an alarm clock that supports playback of MP3, but it may be the first time we've seen it done right. It supports the USB On-The-Go standard, so you can plug USB memory devices right into the port found on the reverse of the unit. MIB has also confirmed the clock to work with the iPod mini and iPod shuffle.

Alarm clock that hides

Alarm clock that hides 03/29/2005 08:54 PM
David Pescovitz: Clocky is an alarm clock that hides when you hit its snooze button. It was developed by Gauri Nanda at the MIT Media Lab. From the project description:

When the alarm clock goes off and the snooze button is pressed, Clocky will roll off the bedside table and wheel away, bumping mindlessly into objects on the floor until it eventually finds a spot to rest. Minutes later, when the alarm sounds again, the sleeper must get up out of bed and search for Clocky. This ensures that the person is fully awake before turning it off. Small wheels that are concealed by Clocky's shag enable it to move and reposition itself, and an internal processor helps it find a new hiding spot every day.

I don't like being told when to wake up but I've come to terms with the idea that I have to. In designing Clocky, I was in part inspired by kittens I've had that would bite my toes every morning.

It won't be out until August, but SDI Technologies are already pushign their iH5 Alarm Clock, most notable for its built-in iPod docking station. They also claim that the iH5's 'Reason8' (get it?) speaker chamber (get it now?) will help provide a decent enough sound that you'll even use the iH5 when you aren't trying to wake up. It addition to the ability to 'Wake to iPod,' the iH5 also features the standard AM/FM radio and alarms you've learned to hate.

Make every morning an "I've Got You, Babe" morning in August for just $100.

Jigsaw Puzzle Alarm Clock

Jigsaw Puzzle Alarm Clock 02/05/2005 10:17 PM

Classic, modern style. Smooth, refined form. Oh, and possibly the most obnoxious feature set possible in an alarm clock (aside from a clock that actually flees away from you): You must complete a jigsaw puzzle to deactivate the alarm. No cord to cut, since it's battery operated, and "recommended for ages 3 or over"—really, anyone old enough to wield a hammer.

Clocky, Rolling Alarm Clock

Clocky, Rolling Alarm Clock 03/17/2005 03:52 AM

Gizmodo being the family-oriented, award-winning weblog that it is, I'm disinclined to tell you what I first thought the Clocky looked like. On closer inspection, that's carpet, although Gauri Nanda might've done better with a more vibrant color. Regardless, Clocky rolls off your nightstand, bounces off your startled dog and finds a new place to hide once you press the snooze button. Maybe one day, we'll have an alarm clock that just crawls on your chest and wets itself. We can dream, can't we?

And to ensure its owner awakes, Clocky hides in a different spot each day.

Kikkerland Motion Flip Alarm Clock

Kikkerland Motion Flip Alarm Clock 09/16/2004 09:09 AM

I'd say my chances of getting a hold of a Dutch-designed clock from an out-of-stock Korean vendor are pretty slim, but that doesn't make me want this Kikkerland "Motion Flip Alarm Clock" any less. My grandparents had a flip-clock when I was growing up that I was captivated by - and Groundhog Day is less a movie for me and more of a religious experience - so it pleases me no end to know that someone is still designing interesting ones.

Hilton Hotels Line-In Alarm Clock

Hilton Hotels Line-In Alarm Clock 03/30/2005 09:10 AM

Hilton Hotels are rolling out new radio alarm clocks to their rooms, complete with a line-in jack for plugging in your MP3 player. In addition, the new units are supposed to be a lot easier to set yourself, and can wake you up with the sound of one of four pre-set radio stations instead of the jarring clang of the hotel wake-up call (although, I sort of like that, especially when the friendly robot calls).

Of course, it'd be cooler if the clock could wake you up with your music, but that would probably morph into 'iPod only.' Line-in is the future!

Alarm clock waits for light sleep to
wake you 04/15/2005 04:53 AM
Cory Doctorow: The difference between being woken from a dream and woken from light sleep is the difference between a rotten wake up and an easy one -- for me at least. I have long dreamt (heh) of an alarm clock that is smart enough to tell the difference, and now I've found one:

The clock, called SleepSmart, measures your sleep cycle, and waits for you to be in your lightest phase of sleep before rousing you. Its makers say that should ensure you wake up feeling refreshed every morning.

Update: d3 sez, "They mention a prototype might be ready by the end of the year, but there already is an alarm clock that performs a similar function available now called the SleepT racker."

Now You Can Sell Your Music On iTunes

Now You Can Sell Your Music On iTunes 04/09/2004 04:00 PM
(HOLLYWOOD) - Independent artists and labels will be glad to learn that they don’t have to be distributed by a major label to get a distribution contract with the iTunes Music Store, now revolutionizing music sales with millions of dollars in downloads.

But finding out how to do it was often a painful and time-consuming process - until now.

iTunes Music Store

iTunes Music Store 07/05/2004 02:15 PM

I used the iTunes Music Store for the first time today. I actually didn't want to install it, but Apple is bundling it with QuickTime these days, so you have to get one to get the other. Then my wife, Annie, heard about it, and she wanted to try it.

It was a great experience. It's pretty much a matter of creating an account, finding a song, then clicking "Buy Song." You can even surpress the "Do you really want this song?" warning so you can just click with wild abandon, racking up $0.99 charges right and left.

The real test came when I taught Annie how to use it (because, you know, you can never have enough Celine Dion). She took to it right away. The search has a spellcheck feature, which is handy when trying to spell "Alanis Morrissette," and the idea of double-clicking a song to hear a clip is very intutive. Annie doesn't know the names of any of the songs she likes, but she knows what they sound like, so she just kept double-clicking until she heard what she wanted, then she hit "Buy Song."

The only glitch we ran into was that we first fired it up under my Windows account, logging into iTunes as Annie. Now, when we open iTunes under Annie's Windows account, again logging in to iTunes under her account, none of the "Purchased Music" we bought under my Windows account is there. For some reason, the purchased music is tied to a specific Windows account, not an iTunes account. I'm not quite sure what to do about this — if you know, drop me a line.

Some music isn't available as single tracks, for some reason. For instance, Annie wanted a song off the De-lovely soundtrack, but it was marked "Album Only." Depressing, but I'm sure there's some high-powered business reason for it.

We haven't tryed burning anything to a CD yet, but when I do, I'll let you all know how it goes. Hats off to Apple — iTunes is a great piece of work.
