I-diet

Mr Jobs said: "We're really, really excited about all these products. We think people are going to have a lot of fun."

Even with the recent scandals of i-exhaustion (overheating laptops, paper fires in tokyo offices caused by nano combustion...) Jobs is still on the treadmill with his finger-flicker-music-boxes. I think it should come with a pair of flesh-colored earphones, in every skin-tone, and then they can make those animorphic commercials like Dove to go along with their rainbow fetish. Maybe a camouflage i-device line will help ease the Williamsburg stabbings, plus hipsters could really mask their commodity fetishism while pulling off the, I've just always got that song running through my head walk.

I wish these segments could upload as one, uncompressed, and sporting its original quality. But Freedom ain't free, providers like Blogger and Youtube are not as interested in High-Definition feeds and signal authenticity as the Telco Hotel. Free information-networking comes with its imbedded cost of quality, time, and space. The Internet's not infinite?

Caffeine and the Information Age

Most people know that caffeine can help you overcome fatigue and keep you alert. However, did you know that some scientists believe that caffeine's mental boost can also actually help you to think better and perform certain tasks more accurately?

Leaders in the computer industry tell us that caffeine helped fuel the computer revolutions and continues to drive the software industry today. This is due in part to caffeine's ability to help give us the energy we need to complete our work. Computer professionals often rely on caffeine to stay alert during the long hours required to develop a new software system and to answer the calls to rescue the system when it crashes (which usually happens in the middle of the night!). However, caffeine's popularity in the computer industry may also be due to the special mental boost caffeine confers, which helps improve accuracy and speed in completing certain tasks, including writing computer programs and operating computer systems.

Experiments have confirmed the common experience that, especially when prolonged efforts are required, caffeine improves performance in work relying on the use of short-term memory, simple mathematical calculations, or carrying out repetitive tasks. Many scientists think that the mental boost caffeine provides can also help us process certain types of information better and thereby perform these tasks more accurately and rapidly, whether we are tired or not.

Whether you write computer programs, or just use them on the job or in your studies, you will be happy to know that a single VIVARIN tablet, containing the caffeine found in two cups of coffee of four cups of tea, can give you the boost you need to complete work, anytime and anyplace.
