You no longer need to go to the fun fair to have a session of Whack-A-Mole, as the USB Whack It offers such convenience at your desktop.

Need a coffee break? Whack the characters when they light up to get a high score in this frantic desktop game. It can be powered via USB or using batteries, but unless you work in a really old fashioned office with not a single USB port in sight, the USB Whack It ought to receive plenty of hard, loving attention from you while you cross your fingers and hope for the clock to strike 5.

Are there better ways to de-stress yourself with a mere £11.95?

I must say that wireless technology is very welcome - when was the last time you took a peek at the mess of cables right behind your desk? Wasn’t a pretty sight, was it, and chances are you’d find wayward stationary, nail clippings and even a booger or two that was flicked in that direction by an ingrate of a colleague. With our lives being so busy all the time at the office, it makes perfect sense for something like the SpaceStation to exist. Check out the product description right after the jump.

I’ve been a Star Wars fan since I can remember. Granted, I wasn’t even born until a year after Return of the Jedi hit theaters, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the films. This desk has to be one of the coolest custom desks I’ve ever seen, as it features Han Solo frozen in carbonite.

Are you having a tough time wondering just which Ethernet patch cable in the office set up is acting up? With the PatchTest Ethernet Cable Tester, your task will be made all the easier.

The PatchTest Ethernet Cable Tester quickly tests Ethernet patch cables for continuity and common wiring standards such as Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and fast Ethernet Crossover. Remote testing of longer cables whose ends are not co-located can be accomplished by using a Gigabit SuperLooper Loopback Jack to test for Gigabit and Fast Ethernet cables in either a straight through or crossover configuration. Through its LED lights the Patch Test will indicate a Gigabit Ethernet Straight Through, 10/100Mb Fast Ethernet Straight Through, 10/100Mb Fast Ethernet Crossover, and a bad or unidentified cable.

You no longer have to be in doubt with the PatchTest Ethernet Cable Tester, and best of all is, it comes with a price that doesn’t break the bank - $49.99 to be exact.

We often know of paper shredders to be large and bulky objects in the office. Despite their rather uncharming appearance, the paper shredders are essential office equipment, even more so if you happen to be in a department where information is more sensitive than your pimple-free butt. The Ziszor handheld paper shredder not only makes it more convenient for you to bring it along wherever you travel, but it is also pleasing to the eyes, claiming to be the first designer handheld paper shredder in the world. With identity theft being the fastest growing crime in the US, I would say lugging around one of these make perfect sense.

I’m not certain who would want a floor that would talk to them, but a Spanish ceramics company known as Tau Ceramica has created one.

Inventor Pep Torres has created the Diet Floor, specific ceramic tiles that are weight sensitive and have a CPU for different parameters. These two features work together with the speakers in order to tell loiterers what’s up.

For example, if you put them by the refrigerator, it will detect someone standing in front of it and will say a few choice phrases like “Keep your diet in mind before you snack”, or something. I have no idea if those voice files come with the Diet Floor, or are programmed by the user, and I’m not certain which would have more of an effect on the hearer.

The Diet Floor can also be programmed for a different type of environment, such as the office. For example, it can detect whether employees are spending far too much time in front of the watercooler. It will then respond with something like: “Hey, the company is not paying you to stand around”.
