Talking Bender Figure
Futurama fans, it is time to sit up and take notice of the Talking Bender Figure! Standing tall (or short, depending on your point of view) at 9″, this is a full fledged talking Bender figure from the Futurama cartoon series. He will definitely rattle off your favorite, what shall we call it, Benderisms in order to inject some humor into the situation, especially when it gets particularly tense around the water cooler.
Bender’s ribcage compartment can also be opened up for you to stash away some of the more secretive items, or stuff that you do not want your colleagues to find out about. The Talking Bender Figure will retail for $24.99 a pop, and all it takes to get him talking would be to press a button, and he’ll rattle away digitally. A desktop companion with an attitude – we definitely could do with one of these at the office.
Hypnocube Animated LED Cube
Sometimes, you just sit right there in front of your computer monitor when there are tons of work piling up right behind you. You are two months behind your mortgage payment, your wife just got laid off, and the car needs an overhaul – quickly. All that stress might result in you stare into space like a zombie, leading to a performance downgrade by your superior for being ‘idle’ at work.
Why not get something to stare at for real in the form of the Hypnocube Animated LED Cube? That way, the eagle-eyed boss might just keep his eyes on this cube instead of your non-performance issues and zoned out moments as well. This cube comprises of flashing LED lights inside – all 64 of them, showing off a light show that will certainly mesmerize. Heck, at $99.99 a pop, it might just stop more people in their tracks than a $1,000 handbag.
The animated light show is said to run for over 30 minutes without repeating itself once – try watching it and be mesmerized, losing count in the process. Each purchase comes with a power adapter, so when there is a blackout in the area, you would do best to stick to physical tasks around the office since there’s nothing to look at then.
FireText Smoke Alarm
Isn’t technology wonderful? In this day and age, you are able to have a device that is capable of detecting whether a fire is in the vicinity, helping sound an alarm so that you will be able to run to safety. Back in the medieval days, the only fire alarm you had was your nose, and sometimes that fails you especially when you’re sleeping. What if your village caught fire (or was burnt down), and you remained a hundred miles away – there was no way to know until you made the long trek back.
Fast forward to the 21st century and you have the FireText Smoke Alarm which will send you a friendly text message (up to a quartet of different numbers simultaneously, to boot) to warn you of imminent danger. Not only that, since you already have a phone in hand, you can straight away make that call to the fire brigade. For £89.99 a pop, it doesn’t sound too bad to have. What do you think?
On This Day Poster
Most teens tend to have idols – and sometimes, they put up posters of them around the room, with movie posters also being a hot commodity as well. The £15.99 On This Day Poster might be worth checking out even if you’ve outgrown the awkward teen years – especially when it features heat sensitive squares that can be revealed the moment your finger approaches it. Move your finger away (or any other source of heat), and whatever you were able to read will disappear. Nifty, no?
The poster’s extremely innovative design also leaves room for you to mark all the important dates in your life, not to mention setting reminders for yourself. Should you opt to leave it unmarked, it can function as a calendar perpetually – every single year after its purchase. This is definitely a conversation starer in any home or office.
SoftStep KeyWorx multi-touch foot controller
Most folks do work with their hands, but what about your feet? Surely you shouldn’t just leave them to tap or shake all day long (yes, some people have that kind of habit). Of course, there are also those who have lost the use of their hands, leaving them to rely on their feet to write or even paint instead. With the SoftStep KeyWorx multi-touch foot controller, you might just stumble upon a new hands-free method of using your computer.
Touted to be the world’s first foot controlled digital interface, where it is said to provide a new and faster way to operate a computer. It will come in Mac and Windows flavors, making the SoftStep KeyWorx a valuable new tool for everyone and anyone using a computer. It doesn’t matter if you’re a hardcore or casual gamer, a video editor, programmer, data entry professional, or even disabled – this is one of the faster ways to use the computer.

The Date Stapler solves two problems at the office
There’s nothing that I like more than products that solve two problems at once, especially when the two problems are generally related.
Most of us have business documents that have to be dated, just to make certain that everything is in order for tax time. Since related documents have to be stapled, why not have a product that can both date and staple things?
This would be the Date Stapler, which puts a date and a staple on at the same time. Normally, it would be stapled and then dated separately. It really is easier this way.

LG Machjet LPP6010N is the fastest printer yet
Everyone is obsessed with the need for speed – otherwise, how else do you explain the ever increasing speed found in your computer processor as well as higher frame rates in video games? Printers aren’t exempt from this technological rat race too, you know, with the LG Machjet LPP6010N laying claim to be the fastest A4 color desktop printer in the world. It will be made available later this month via authorized LG resellers and channel partners, so do keep a keen eye out if you’re interested in upgrading your office or home’s printer to the LG Machjet LPP6010N.
Printing technology has long been limited to laser and traditional inkjet systems, but the Machjet ushers in a totally new world of printing technology which makes it possible to deliver high-quality color printing at unbelievable speeds and quality. Thanks to Memjet’s ground-breaking, high-density page-wide printheads and components, these will allow enable printers to operate twice as fast while costing half of what it normally does to run traditional color office printers (on average, of course).

Magnetic Levitator Classic
I would say that rewind the clock by a couple of decades, and you would find the Magnetic Levitator Classic to be simply magical, as it is touted to be the ultimate anti-gravity spinning device. Retailing for $11.95, this toy will deliver cool kinetic motion of a carefully positioned item at the point of the axle against the clear glass plate. Once you have managed to perfect the smooth spin, all you need to do is challenge yourself and see just how long you are able to keep something spinning on it, making this a better time killer than a desktop computer game at the office whenever you are bored – since there are no Alt-Tab buttons to press.
