For those of you who aren’t aware, Brawndo is the energy drink of the future, chock full of electrolytes. Seen in the movie “Idiocracy”, Cocaine-maker Redux Beverages will be creating this beverage so you can enjoy a bit of the future…TODAY! Well, not exactly…you’ll have to wait until December 15. The official site is very well-designed in my opinion, but lacks any significant content. I would love to see some more hype, as I am very excited about this drink!

I’m in a pretty good mood right now. Freedom has triumphed in America for the first time in quite a while. Energy Drink-maker Redux Beverages has decided to re-release “No Name” energy drink under its original name! Jamey emailed me to let me know that their famous (or infamous, depending on your point of view) drink will be going on sale again under its rightful name, Cocaine!

Redux’s logo is featured on the new Cocaine Can.

In case you’re not aware of Cocaine’s history, it was a perfectly legitimate energy drink released in September 2006. It was a brilliant name for an energy drink, with a brilliant slogan…Cocaine: The Legal Alternative. The FDA, however, was not amused. They somehow felt they had the right to circumvent the first amendment, and used unconstitutional means which I will not go into as a way of hunting down Jamey Kirby, Cocaine’s founder. Jamey’s very life was threatened if he refused to take the drink off the market. Since then, it has been known as “No Name”, with the same great taste, but sans the cool labeling. For a more detailed history, see the rest of my blogs about Cocaine.

Things have changed today, however. Jamey Kirby from Redux has informed me that they will be putting Cocaine, in all its controversial glory, back on U.S. shelves as early as next January. For those who value freedom, this is a very good thing.

Jamey sent me the full new label, which is very similar to the old one with some new fine print and a slight logo change. I must say I’m a fan of the snappy new fine print! I’m surprised they can get away with it, though I’m sure they’ve checked with their lawyers already!

Redux is forced to point out the obvious: their product does not contain the drug Cocaine.

A warning for those who might confuse thin white powder with a thick red liquid.

I’ll have to Vlog about this soon, of course. I just wanted to let you know as fast as I could that this is such a triumphant day for freedom-loving Americans. I am very happy for Jamey and his business, and I appreciate that they have been fighting the man on behalf of us all. Freedom can win! Freedom will win!

Update: Jamey just informed me that there were no lawsuits involved. That was a conclusion I jumped to, so I apologize for the misinformation.

Apple’s brilliant new operating system, Mac OS X Leopard has done in 5 days what Mac-lovers everywhere could only have hoped would happen over the next five to ten years. Well, perhaps that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but numbers don’t lie.

Japan, arguably the technology capitol of the world, has one of the most stunning stories. Apple accounted for 53.9% of all OS sales in the month of October, meaning more new Macs were sold to Japan than Windows or *nix-based PCs. This is of course, due to Leopard, which was only around for 5 days in October.

Of course, for this to happen, someone else’s numbers had to fall. Microsoft took a massive hit this time, with OS market share dropping practically overnight from 75.3% to 28.7%!

If this is what 5 days of Leopard did to an entire month’s OS market share, I can’t wait to see November’s numbers. The world is changing for the better, and it’s doing it even faster than anyone could have hoped! This is the start of a wondrous thing, folks. This is the beginning of the new computer world.
