While we could almost imagine giving a Marriott Bear a cuddle, another item on sale under the Marriott brand is something altogether too irritating--one of those projection alarm clocks. Not only does it tell you the time, and is always correct since it's got one of those atomic sensor things, but it then projects the time in large figures onto whatever surface you choose.

We've seen these before and our immediate thought is always how dreadful it must be to be having a sleepless night and to see these huge digital figures ticking over slowly on the ceiling above you. But there are gadget geeks who go for this sort of thing, and they'd be pleased to hear the Marriott projection alarm clock will also display the indoor temperature and humidity, and at $39, it's a lot cheaper than the large bear.
