The iPhone's built-in alarm clock app is pretty good -- multiple alarms are nice, and it's very easy to set -- but there are some things it just can't do. For example, it can't wake you up automatically when you reach your destination. Sleep Blaster can, though. If you're on a train or a bus, you can set Sleep Blaster to wake you up when your GPS detects that you've arrived. I can't count the ...

Kuku Klok is a cute little Flash alarm clock. The interface couldn't really be simpler; you use the clock on the left side to set your desired wake-up time, select a sound (a cockerel by default, but you also have a classic clock, insanely irritating electronic chirping, metal guitar, and a military bugle), and hit "set alarm".

The sound is annoying enough that it actually might work to wake me up, and my wife too. It sounds like an easy way to "get rid" of hardware, so I can get a new PC. She trashes the bleeping ...
