Quick! Close my Windows!
I found this today in my Geeks.com newsletter and had to chuckle. Where is the Geekologie entry poking fun at this little gadget?

Just in case you want to super-quickly close a window (you know, like when you’re visiting those site you get that special thrill out of visiting at work), you just tap your foot and it’s gone. Voila!
What I want to know is, what happens when it fails? Or when it doesn’t work so well? Do you jump up and down on the pedal? Do you have to actually use your hand (which is presumably already on the mouse) to minimize a window!?
Now I’m back off to looking at those sites I get excited about visiting at school (yes, school, since I don’t have the luxury of a job or an income).
