Mobile phones
They rarely actually turn off - even when you turn them off, they are in some state of 'on' - enough to be able to set a timer to wakeup properly.

What's the mystery about Japanese breakfasts?

(McChinaman banned, Fri 14 Oct 2011, 4:10, closed)

The answers to life's questions
1. A Japanese breakfast favourite is miso soup, a sloppy rice based soup surprisingly more tasty than it sounds.
2. Just like TVs or DVRs on standby are ready to spring into action at the push of a button or a timed event, so mobile phones have low power consuming intelligent chips to make sure you leave your pit on time.
3. You are assuming you have a soul, and also, if you have one, why does it have to leave when you sleep? Maybe it sleeps when you do, and then wakes up when the mobile phone bleeps.
4. Italians have lovely Latin temperaments which prompt them to have to discuss Japanese breakfasts, mobile phone alarms, sleeping souls and especially Silvio Berlusconi's party squeezes at full volume constantly, bless them. Ciao.
