Alarm Clock Myth - How to wake up early

Image
Everyone wants to wake up early, and make good use of those extra early morning hours. But we fail all the time, even if we succeed, its one-off times. I thought its a good opportunity to seize and fix this problem with the existing alarm clocks. I started exploring the existing solutions out there and found there are quite many interesting stuff: A whole breed of biologically sync'd clocks who wake you up when you are least in sleep Hard to snooze alarm clocks which ask you to solve a difficult puzzle to snooze an annoying alarm tone Motivational messages to wake you up I gave all the existing products a lot of thought and why they don't quite work.

Intelligent Passwords

I attempt and dare to solve the problem of password-stealing which occur primarily due to Social Engineering Hacks. Also, this adds another layer of protection over passwords and make passwords more secure and usable!

We now attach this typing-accent attribute to the password and make them more secure i.e. even if you tell your password to a third-person, he wont be able to authenticate himself as you. Also, this improves the usability of passwords. As pointed by Jakob Nielsen, un-masking the password would provide better usability. Passwords can now be unmasked as this method tries to cover for the social engineering hacks which are the clear threats to unmasking passwords. As a proof of concept, i provide a demo here . The demo is Javascript based, where you can set your password and then attempt to e

The little thing that makes me hate Android

Android is awesome. We found love in a hopeless place. It's the unix of mobile phones. But it is so fricking annoying when: It vibrates on shutdown Why? Why does it have to vibrate on shutdown?? My phone battery definitely dies everyday because battery-life sucks and I suck more since I am too lazy to keep my phone charged. Now, when battery gives up, phone shuts down silently and in the end it vibrates. I pull the phone out of my pocket to see what the vibration was about, click the Power Button and it starts booting up, just to shutdown again! You may call it a dark pattern/(insert a mumbo-jumbo here), I call it wtf. wtf.
