SnūzNLūz Alarm Clock
Ben Preiss — January 9, 2008 — Unique
If you snooze, you lose. That's right, you program this WiFi enabled clock to donate your money from your online bank account to your most despised charity (everybody's got one) when you hit the snooze button. Not chasing stuff around with this alarm clock, just financial loss and humiliation. The clock taunts you with the details of the donation that you are making and the charity that it is going to as well as the total of your past donations. This clock is like an abusive relationship.
