Anyone know if there is an alarm for OUtlook? It would be cool if I could set it to wake me up in the morning since I have my schedule in there.

 

The calendar makes a chime when the designated time before an appt comes, so you could set a reoccuring appt every day, however its only a one time ring, so i wouldn't count on that. I use an alarm clock and cell phone because i have a tendency to turn off the alarm and fall back to sleep in about 5 seconds and forget all about it.

 

You can change that chime to whatever sound you want. Set it to an mp3 and turn your speakers up and you are good to go.

 

I think it will only take a .wav file. You can make a .wav from a CD (do a Google search).

 

When you browse for a file to use, change the drop down from .wav to all files (*.*) and you can pick an mp3 or whatever.

Not sure if that will work or not....

 

nope. Damn Microsoft

 

Send a request. I'm sure they will add that into gmail for you.

 

why not use task schedular and have it run your audio file?

Japanese Robot Knows Words, Can House-Sit

Mon Aug 29,12:08 PM ET

TOKYO - A child-shaped humanoid robot that can recognize about 10,000 words and work as a house sitter will go on sale in Japan in September.

The "Wakamaru" robot can recognize the faces of up to 10 people and talk to them. When linked to mobile phones, it can also work as a monitor to check situations at home, such as a burglary or someone falling ill, Mitsubishi-Heavy Industries Ltd. said in a statement Monday.

Mitsubishi-Heavy said it would be the first time a robot with communication ability for home use has been sold.

"This is the opening of an era in which human beings and robots can coexist," it said.

Mitsubishi-Heavy said it will start taking orders for "Wakamaru" from Sept. 16, and plans to sell 100 of the one meter- (3.3 feet-) tall, 30 kilogram (66 pound) robots at about 1.58 million yen (US$14,300; euro11,619) for residents in central Tokyo.

The owner's schedule can be programmed in advance and Wakamaru can give a wake-up call and remind them of the day's events.

The robot will be on display at three locations in Tokyo including the company's showroom from Sept. 16.
