Runaway alarm clock

My college roommate drove me insane with the snooze button on his alarm clock; it was not uncommon for him to hit it ten to fifteen times. Now the MIT Media Lab is developing “Clocky” – an alarm that rolls across the floor after the snooze button is pressed. You have to get out of bed to turn it off again.
