New app lets you wake up to the sizzle and smell of bacon

Instead of waking up to some annoying ringtone, why not install a smartphone app that lets you wake up to the heavenly sizzle and smell of bacon? From the Oscar Mayer Institute for the Advancement of Bacon comes the next generation of alarm clocks:

Wake Up & Smell The Bacon is a simple alarm clock app that starts your morning with the mouthwatering sound of Oscar Mayer bacon. Rotate the skillet to select your wake-up time, then get ready for a bacon awakening beyond your wildest imagination. The app connects with the Oscar Mayer Wake Up & Smell The Bacon scent device, turning your phone into a bacon-scented alarm clock.

You can apply for your chance to get a device by taking a short quiz.

Handy smart phone app records all audio all the time, just like the NSA

There is a new smart phone app called Heard that automatically records everything within range of the phone's microphone. It stores the audio in memory for five minutes and then erases it unless the user chooses to save it. Think of it as carrying around your own National Security Agency in your pocket.


I suggest using it while wearing a t-shirt that says, "This conversation may be recorded." That will give any government employee you interact with fair warning.
