Or just hitting the old "suspend or hibernate" key combo will defeat this. It would be wise not to rely on this alarm at all.

The problem? In the mall, the tiny laptop speakers are not loud enough. This idea might works for quiet environments such as office or library. I have tried a while ago a similar solution.
