USB Alarm Clock Fan may not actually tell time

fanalarm_clock.jpg
When it's hot out, I've got two things on my mind: cooling down and always knowing what time it is. Unfortunately, these two tasks generally require completely different sets of equipment. Now, thanks to Hong Kong's crazy Brando, I don't have that concern anymore.

That's because they've released this ridiculous USB Alarm Clock Fan. Yes, it's a fan and an alarm clock combined, all powered by the magic of USB. The problem? I don't think it even functions as a clock; it just looks like one. After all, if the hands are the blades of the fan, they aren't pointing at the correct time. And I don't see any way to set an alarm. Nice try, Brando. My search continues.

Set the alarm in software on the PC whose USB port the "clock" is attached to. It still won't show the time but any "alarm" noise maker on the "clock" can still be triggered by the PC.
