No more snoozing for you

Friday, September 21st, 2007

ThinkGeek website is offering a new wifi-enabled alarm clock that will make you think twice before hitting that snooze button each morning. According to the site, the device ‘connects via WiFi to your online bank account, and donates YOUR real money to an organization you HATE when you decide to snooze’.
