Halfbakery: Addiction
You Have Pastry   (+6, -1)  [vote for, against]
widget

H'bakers get realtime vote notification on their accounts' ideas, providing random moments of delight/other during the day, as well as mild coworker confusion.

The widget would log in and have a couple of Options to set "away from keyboard" and Autostart parameters as well as a choice of Bun/Bone sounds; click to open a page listing the latest votes.

In between sessions the votes are still tallied serverside, so the first thing you hear when you run the app is a series of bun and bone sounds.

The app only operates if you have the USB dongle plugged in which emits the odour of farinaceous substances or decaying piscine remains, as appropriate.

It would have to be done with the same voice that did the AOL inbox annoyances.
