Webware's official alarm clock

by Rafe Needleman

Here's another PC-based alarm clock: Naked Alarm Clock. It's just a little Flash-based clock with ringers. Things I like about it: It's easy to program. It has loud alarms, and you can turn them off by mashing the space bar. Second, although it's Web-based, it's a self-contained Flash application, so it will ring even if your Internet connection dies in the middle of the night. It's missing a snooze alarm, though.

I might actually use this as an alarm clock next time I'm in a hotel. Yeah, I could use my mobile phone, a $20 travel alarm, or the hotel's own clock, but I figure as long as I claim to be Mr. Webware, I should be living the dream.

What about standby mode?

Ahaha, yes... a web-based alarm clock... to use for napping... until your computer goes into standby mode.

Not exactly environmentally conscious

You must be joking! You're seriously considering running a laptop through the night, expending some ridiculous number of kilowatts instead of using the alarm function on your watch, your cellphone or your PDA?
This is exactly the equivalent of having the choice between a Prius, a Camry and an FJ Cruiser ... and picking an Indycar.

Like me running my laptop overnight is going to stop the natural cycle of the planet warming up?

It's not easy to make simple design. That's why our original online alarm clock, dependably online since March 2006, is still the best alarm clock on the internet:
