That's funny. If I had heard about that product when it was announced, I probably would have backed it. I used to use an iOS app called FreakyAlarm. It had all sorts of features to enforce wake up time. You could set it to just require that you solve a math problem, or move the hands on an analog clock to "28/4:(36+15)" (Meaning, move the hour hand to 7 and the minute hand to 51.), and all sorts of "games" that you're unlikely able to do in a half-asleep state. But my favorite was the barcode scanner. You scanned a random UPC (I chose my shaving cream), and in the morning the alarm would not shut off until you went and scanned it again. But that got me in trouble once when I was on a business trip, and didn't pack that particular brand of shaving cream. Of course it's just an iOS app, so you can force quit it and uninstall it faster than doing any of the tasks. But I preferred honor to cheating that way. I don't use any alarm clock anymore. I have dogs. They're remarkably consistent.
