Focus on
Business travel
More companies are parking their biz-jets, leading to lively rounds of Fortune-500-CEO-bingo in the economy class cabin. The public's main objection is that executives may be having parties up there. Transferring through the terminal with the commoners is rife with lost baggage opportunities. Yet, among savvy execs cashmere blankets and melatonin sleep tablets are popular choices for that added bit of in-flight luxury.

Boomerang byte
Boomerang byte Do you... hit snooze? This propeller-deployed, Flying Alarm Clock makes sure heavy sleepers get up for work on time.

  • When the alarm goes off the plastic propeller starts to spin and lifts off the base.
  • It shoots straight up, hovers for several seconds, landing in a random spot.
  • The alarm continues until you get up, find the propeller and screw it back into the base.
  • Although there is a snooze button, pressing it only means it will allow you to sleep for an additional seven minutes before the cycle continues.
