I'm sure you've heard the stories of emotionally unstable teens killing themselves because of something someone said on an internet message board, making us, the internet message boarders, look bad. Well, this is how it begins. I hate super-fanboyism as much as the next guy, but I have another solution -- let's just ignore his super-fanboy comments, and contribute to his thoughtful, insightful tech themed comments when they appear. He already suffers from fanboyism, this is just adding insult to injury. Give the guy a break!]]>Nov 14th 2008 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/moshis-ivr-alarm-clock-accepts-voice-commands-harbors-own-prim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/moshis-ivr-alarm-clock-accepts-voice-commands-harbors-own-prim/

FAIL!!!!!

Before I get flamed for this, let me start by stating that I am in love with the SNOOZE function on all of the alarm clocks that I have ever owned. Moshi, alas, does not have a snooze mode. It accepts twelve commands, none of wich will let you sleep "just a little longer." By the way I noticed at the bottom of their page there was a symbol labled "World Blind Uninon," and it links to the respective site. This begs the question: If this is a clock for blind people, why does it have a "night light" mode? Are you just trying to rub it in or what? You would think that they would have taken out the night light command and put in the snooze command. Do that and I would by one.

Inspired by thinking about nightlights and blindness: Wouldn't it suck to be both blind AND scared of the dark?]]>Nov 14th 2008 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/moshis-ivr-alarm-clock-accepts-voice-commands-harbors-own-prim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/moshis-ivr-alarm-clock-accepts-voice-commands-harbors-own-prim/Nov 14th 2008 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/moshis-ivr-alarm-clock-accepts-voice-commands-harbors-own-prim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/moshis-ivr-alarm-clock-accepts-voice-commands-harbors-own-prim/
Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!]]>Nov 14th 2008 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/moshis-ivr-alarm-clock-accepts-voice-commands-harbors-own-prim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/moshis-ivr-alarm-clock-accepts-voice-commands-harbors-own-prim/
I had it for 3 days, which was long enough to discover all of the drawbacks. 1) You can't see it in the dark without using the night light feature. When the nightlight feature is on, the clock cycles thru 6 colors, half of which are too bright. Strike one. 2) To enable the alarm, you have to reset the alarm time EVERY time, and for some reason, the makers put in a long prompt to explain how to set the alarm time. Fine. After the first explanation I think I had it down... but no, you have to listen to it EVERY time. Strike two. 3) The voice prompt is too loud, and you can't adjust it. Strike three.

I don't know what alternate universe you're writing this from, or what goofy alarm clocks you've been using, but in my lifetime I have YET to see any alarm clock give you a paltry 5 minute interval. Most in my experience have provided a full 9 minutes of extra sleep per snooze.]]>Nov 14th 2008 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/moshis-ivr-alarm-clock-accepts-voice-commands-harbors-own-prim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/moshis-ivr-alarm-clock-accepts-voice-commands-harbors-own-prim/Nov 14th 2008 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/moshis-ivr-alarm-clock-accepts-voice-commands-harbors-own-prim/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/moshis-ivr-alarm-clock-accepts-voice-commands-harbors-own-prim/
