The thing I enjoy most about camping is the sounds of birds and other wildlife at the crack of dawn. Conversely, the thing I hate most about camping is the quiet drone of a single mosquito in your tent while you’re trying to fall asleep. It’s almost impossible to figure out where the little bugger is, and when the sound stops, you know they’re up to no good. And that’s why I think this Mosquito Sound Alarm Clock is cruel and unusual punishment. It would definitely get me out of bed in the morning, though at the cost of emotionally crippling camping flashbacks. $25.95 from Danna Bananas.

Genius. Pure genius. In order to save us all from smashing buttons on our digital alarm clocks or stripping the gears in our analog ones, designer Denis Guidone has dreamed up this masterpiece. The Ora ilLegale clock boasts no numbers and is obviously missing a significant portion of its base; these two factoids enable it to become the easiest clock to adjust to changes in daylight savings… well, ever. The best part? We’re told that it’ll actually hit production soon, though there’s no indiciation of just how pricey it’ll be. Not like it matters — you’re totally buying one, and you know it.

This conceptual alarm clock from designer Matthias Lange is, unlike most other alarm clocks, designed to accept your ritualistic unbridled rage at its existence. To shut the alarm off, you smash the clock as hard as you can with your fist. Sounds rather satisfying, doesn’t it? After all, you know what they say… There’s nothing that wakes you up in the morning like a fresh cup of hot steaming violence against inanimate objects. That and the smell of napalm, of course.

Mmm, napalm.

Talk about covering all of your bases. ViewSonic has unloaded a netbook, a 3D LCD and a 3D projector here at CES, but it has somehow found the time to also unload not one, not eight, but nine new digital photo frames. It’s adding in the 7-inch VFM735-52M, 8-inch VFM835-52M and 10-inch VFM1035W-52M to its SwifTouch lineup for $129, $159 and $189, respectively, and it’s also busting out a full line of 4:3 frames for those still deathly afraid of widescreen. Finally, it’s previewing a pair of all-in-one frames with inbuilt alarm clocks and AM / FM radio, both of which are on track for a Q2 release at $99.
