Crave has seen all manner of sadistic alarm clocks, from models that emit sonic booms and electrical shocks to those that fly and roll away. But the appropriately named <A target="_blank" href="http://www.alice-wang.com/tyrant.html">Tyrant</A> from Taiwanese designer Alice Wang takes sleep disruption to a disturbing new level.</DIV><BR /><DIV>
If you don't turn it off, this little monster will <A target="_blank" href="http://www.slashgear.com/tyrant-alarm-makes-unwanted-phone-calls-0112350.php">randomly dial numbers </A>programmed in your mobile phone every 3 minutes, according to SlashGear. That's right--not calls to yourself, but to others who surely won't be amused. Mercifully, this is only a concept so far (we hope).</DIV>
