I recently needed to access a newspaper article and was reminded of a site that is one of my favorites: www.bugmenot.com . BugMeNot lets users share logins for websites that have compulsory registration. The concept is quite simple, type in a URL and it will return user names and passwords for the site that other BugMeNot users have registered. Each user name and password lets you record “yes” or “no” on whether it worked. This way, passwords that are inactive drop to the bottom of the list.
In the "what will they think of next" department comes Clocky(TM) .
Clocky is a cross between a small furry pet and a relentless alarm clock. If you love furry things and are one of those people who needs a little extra help to get up in the morning, Clocky may be the answer.
Clocky was created by Gauri Nanda,a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab.
Clocky is a small fur covered alarm clock on wheels. It runs away and hides if you don't get out of bed on time. If you press snooze when the alarm sounds Clocky will roll off of the bedside table, fall to the floor, and wheel away, bumping mindlessly into objects until it finds a spot to rest. When the alarm sounds again, you have get up and search for it to turn it off.
Clocky is in beta, but the web site is accepting advance orders. Check it out.
