It's safe to say that almost everyone in North America is on their computer or smartphone at least 15 hours a day; however, the Ctrl-Alt-Delete Cup Set is looking to turn that time into a full 24 hours.

ThinkGeek has come out with the very geeky and quirky Ctrl-Alt-Delete Cup Set for those who love computers way too much. Normally, this combination of keys gets you ready for a shutdown, so it's nice to see that it's now serving a greater purpose. Each of the mugs are engraved with the infamous computer functions. For an extra touch of geekiness, the set also comes with a circuit board-etched tray to hold all three cups.

The Ctrl-Alt-Delete Cup Set makes the perfect gift for the programmer in your home.
