Guard Dog for your working desk
Do you love maintaining your personal space and jealously guard it as though it is the elixir of life itself? The Guard Dog which is USB-powered might just do the trick then – after all, it will growl menacingly at anyone who ventures too close to your cubicle for comfort. This is made possible thanks to a built-in motion sensor which will alert the Guard Dog to intruders, and unlike your average pooch that might be tempted by a poisoned piece of meat, this one won’t accept treats of any kind albeit living up to the adage that his bark is worse than his bite! You can choose to have the Guard Dog run off USB power (great during office hours) or battery (if you’re elsewhere away from a computer). Nice to know that it will already ship with a trio of AA batteries to help you get started right out of the box. The price to pay might be a wee bit steep for most people though – we’re talking about $79 here.
Kodak has brand new all-in-one printer
Kodak has just announced their latest line of innovative All-in-One (AiO) Inkjet Printers, which is the ESP 9250. No, this model will not come with Extra Sensory Perception, but is instead a low cost ink system that does not compromise on results, making it one of the better value-for-money prospects out there in the market. After all, the Kodak ESP 9250 printer comes with Kodak’s proprietary pigmented inks which are capable of delivering brilliant colors and permanence to last a lifetime – subject to certain conditions, of course. Their ink system will offer a significant fade resistance advantage over other ink systems, particularly the dye-based ink systems used by the majority of consumer inkjet manufacturers. Needless to say, Kodak highly recommends the use of their own ink and photo papers for instantly drying prints that will not smear and are smudge as well as water resistant, we’ll leave it to you to decide.

NTT’s “t-room” is almost like being there
I realize that this picture looks like two ordinary people shaking hands, but what is actually going on is far more technical and far more complex.
This photo comes from my Source, who was at NTT’s Showroom at Tokyo and got a chance to try out the “t-room”. Yes, that is what they call it, and is actually is very similar to sitting down for tea.
Here is a brief explanation of what the t-room does. A person stands in this small circular room that is surrounded by person-sized video screens. They can see an image of the person they are talking to, who is in another t-room somewhere. This allows for some video conferencing that is exponentially better than FaceTime on the iPhone 4. You can watch the video after the jump to see what is up.

Steelcase Node desk chairs: Just in time for back-to-school
Where I live, school is beginning. The day that most kids have been dreading is here, where they will find their assigned seat for the next 8 months.
I remember when I was going to school, there was always the issue with desks. There were always teachers that would probably die if they came to class and found the desks screwed to the floor, as they would move their desks randomly in weird rows, clumps, and, my personal favorite, the giant circular formation.
Steelcase Node must have made these specialized desks for those type of teachers. As you can see, every desk has wheels for easy movement, and can swivel so the student is always facing the teacher.

Sharpie creates liquid pencils
It seems like people are writing less and less, some prefer to even type up quick memos instead of jotting them down on a post-it note. For those that still prefer to write things down on normal paper, there’s a new writing utensil out there. Sharpie has come out with an interesting new pencil, that mimics pens by being liquid.

Epson wants you to get printing with more all-in-one models
Epson knows that good quality printers are hard to come by these days, and they being an old hand in the industry, intends to spice it up with more all-in-one models. We’re talking about the new range of Artisan all-in-ones, namely the Artisan 835 and Artisan 725. It seems that Epson has done a little bit of market research on their own, and the results were in their favor (obviously), where image quality of their printers was preferred by consumers 3-to-1 over the competition. It also helps that Epson’s latest range of printers will come with a host of unique features, making them being marketed as a “perfect match” for today’s active, digital families that who need just a solitary solution when it comes to printing.

Rubber Bandit Pen makes you king of the cubicles
The Rubber Bandit Pen is different from the rest, as it not only allows you to pen down your John Hancock in style, it also lets you shoot rubber bands at pesky cubicle mates all around with greater accuracy compared to using just your fingers as what one would normally do. Unlike other toys that often requires you to purchase batteries separately, the Rubber Bandit Pen is different since each $4.99 purchase already comes with rubber bands in the packaging to help you get started right out of the box. Nice to know the back packaging comes with a target as well for you to perfect your shot before you take your rightful place as the sharpshooter in the office, with those who were stung by your accurate shots leaving you alone for good shortly thereafter.
