Buzzaire - Metered Dose Caffeine Inhaler

ThinkGeek offers a lot of weird and very, very geeky stuff to the geeks in all of us. But this new thingy takes the prize:

Buzzaire - Metered Dose Caffeine Inhaler

This is insane - if someone needs an inhaler in order to get his/her caffeine buzz, he/she should go see a doctor. In fact, anyone willing to spend money on such a device should go see that doctor ASAP.

I'll admit that the idea is funny, and that it is indeed ultrageeky to own a gadget such as this. But hey, how about brewing some normal coffee instead?:

Caffeine Comparison Chart

Drink/Food Caffeine Content
12oz Can of Coke 34mg
12oz Can of Mt. Dew 37mg
12oz of Jolt Cola 78mg
10oz Bottle of Bawls 80mg
8oz of Brewed Coffee 70-120mg
One breath of Buzzaire 150mg


Nah... Spend your money on this instead...

Patents v. Microsoft

Via Dave Shea @ mezzoblue:

"Who's affected? Well, do you use the
<OBJECT>
element? Then, potentially, you are. Sites that embed PDF, Flash, QuickTime, Windows Media, or RealPlayer files will all get hit by this.

What happens? The page loads, but the controls are disabled by default. In order to activate them, the user must click on them first.

Bad for advertisers? Yep. Bad for CMS/eCommerce vendors that rely on ActiveX controls? Yep. Bad for media sites? You bet. Bad for Adobe? Of course.

Really, there's no good side here. Except that you've got two months to fix your sites. Like you didn't have anything better to do anyway. Enjoy."
