Escape Clock terminates your dream sequence with Control-Fist
Simple in design, perfect in execution, we bring you Santiago Cantera's Escape Clock. No tiny snooze buttons to fumble with here dozy Joe, just one big key that shuts off the alarm when meeting the business end of a morning beef hammer. Set it on edge and you've switched from alarm clock mode to an in-room stereo. The worst part? It's just a concept... for now.

Sweet. I would so go for something like that.
a concept? pfff... I'm not a "hey I want that clock person" but hey, I want that clock!
I'd pretty much buy this if they ever made it.. heres to hoping!
...no, I dont want a clock person, its a failed quote! I'm not admitting to a fetish...
Pity it's only a concept. This would be the perfect gift for a nerdy friend of mine.
Yes... a friend. Right. A friend named ......Splothole
Heh. Actually I'm more interested in the Clock that you can talk to personally. The friend I'm talking about is named Matt, whom I've known since I lived in college housing.
i dunno about you, but i would rather have an alarm clock that ISN'T easy to turn off. I can see myself turning off this thing in my sleep before i even wake up. The stereo system form-factor idea is interesting, though.
I guess you could buy the Alt+F4 Clock set. Two hands would require some motor skills.
Ctrl+Alt+Delete for those who seek a challenge. And maybe a nerdgasm.
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace seems more analogous for snooze, although you have to hit it 10 times in two minutes (or something like that).
init: Id "X" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes.
Considering my state of mind in the morning, ie I don't have one, F1 would be better for me.
then if you have WinMo phone or pda, this free GAlarm is for you, it has a maze puzzle that you have to solve first before you can hit the snooze, i didnt use it though, the whole house is already waked up by my blaring alarm, and i cant still solve the damn maze.

I'll wait for the version that screams when I hit it.
You mean a wife?
...
@ WarMouse: Thank you. It's 5:30am here and I needed that laugh.
Ahahahaha, that was awesome, I needed that too.
Screaming wife?...
*tested*
...Works!!
"Just one big key that shuts off the alarm when meeting the business end of a morning beef hammer."
What about women? How do they turn off the alarm clock?
Damn you, eggo, you beat me to it!
Well, this would be one 1337 clock, but it's misspelled.
That, or it speaks German, poses inscrutable monosyllabic questions, and is still misspelled.
Do want.
Do want.
i need an alarm that forces me to get up, i have a sterio in another room with speeker wire running across the hall to speekers by my bed, so i have to get up and go across the hall to turn it off... unless i have some wire clippers handy.
Please tell me that you are from another country, and that english is not your first language. Otherwise, we are doomed. Oh, perhaps that is what your avatar means
"morning beef hammer" made me spew orange juice all over my desk.
Give me an Enter and I'm sold!
You know, I already have an alarm clock that does that whole "hit the top, and it shuts off" thing.
It's a Sharp SPC-005.
What I want is a 24 hour alarm clock, though... I tried connecting the 24H jumper on the board, but it didn't respond. :(
(Besides, it doesn't have all the LEDs installed in the first digit, so the 2 would be malformed.)
Both of the radio-set alarm clocks i've bought in the last five years have a 24-hour option; you could try those. One is from Oregon Scientific and has a weekend/weekday alarm and a remote temp gauge; the other is a little more basic.
LOL. I have a Spongebob alarm clock that does the same job. Except he's sitting on top, and it gets uncomfortable hitting a sponge every morning telling it to shut up.
LOL @ "beef hammer"
I will end up removing the Esc key as usual...
morning beef hammer.....classic
I want this... NO! I NEED this!
@ Kehoe
I feel the same way...
I HOPE THIS CLOCK GETS MADE :(
