If you ask me, alarm clocks should be going more low-tech than high tech.

I need an alarm clock with decoy snooze/cancel buttons. All of them would be metal plated, and wired up to whatever circuit those "trick" pens use (the kind that gives you an unpleasant but safe shock).

I would attach a hammer to this hypothetical alarm clock too if I could figure out how...

I don't think we can add the hammer or the electric-shock, but we can certainly add a virtual metal-plate in front of the snooze button, and we can even make it so you have to answer a question or type in a code to release it. We can try to do whatever our user community comes up with, it's all software, so we can add lots of cool features as time progresses.
