Easily, probably, most things are , possibly. Definitely include the option to turn it off.

I wouldn't pay money for such a thing myself. I'm old enough to remember when you didn't have to wait for the OS' "permission" to turn the computer off. I find the whole "mother, may I?" school of software design more annoying than helpful most of the time. Definitely give the option to turn the thing off. I'd rather have the annoyance of occaisionally making a mistake to inspire me to pay more attention to what I'm doing.
