    This was on one of the talk shows tonight. As the host said, a compleate waste of research time at MIT. Instead they could have spend the time developing a solution to a real problem. Oh yeah and now instead of being late because you overslept you would be late because you were chasing Clocky. Plus, clocky??? who was the fag that came up with this dumb name ... come to think about it I would really like to clock him on the head for this brilliant invention ... beats even the silent alarm mode on some alarm clocks.

    Something tells me the creators of this bastardized piece of technology are going to have to emulate the same behavior after this thing hits the marketplace.
