Snooze or Cruise

****The Wake to Weather alarm clock ($180) from Hammacher Schlemmer lets you hit the snooze and get the day’s full forecast at the same time. The clock receives information from radio signals transmitting AccuWeather data from 152 U.S. locations at no fee, so there is no need for a computer or internet connection. A glance at the backlit face tells you the time, the current weather conditions, the forecast for the day, including high and low temperatures, and predicted conditions for the next two days. Equipped with a digitally tuned radio with radio Data System for song and station information, the clock has two alarm settings, and, most importantly, a prominent snooze button.

Sliced Thin

The OLED Digital Television ($2,500) from Sony uses breakthrough technology that boasts an unparalleled 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, providing deeper hues in a super-thin 3 mm panel. A clever screen design tilts to accommodate different viewing positions (15 degrees forward, 55 degrees backwards). Cruisers with power-management issues will appreciate the fact that OLED technology eliminates the need for backlighting, so it consumes approximately 40 percent less power than conventional 20-inch LCD screens.
