Just when I thought the Star Wars merchandising team couldn’t come up with another use for lightsabers, they came up with the latest in office supply technology – the lightsaber ballpoint pen.

Behold – the laser scissors. It’s a pair of scissors… with a frickin’ laser beam! And that is all that you need to know. Go buy it now. Why are you still here? What? No, the laser can’t cut paper by itself; that’s what the scissor is for.

But that’s just what the A Posture stapler is – sexy. (At least if you’re into shoes.) It’s supposed to be energy efficient but I don’t see how or what makes it so, but who cares?

Are you a neat freak? Then I’m sure you like to keep your unused cables systematically stored. You could use a rubber band, or zip ties, but the quirky community thinks they have a better solution.

An amazing breakthrough tape dispenser-technology that will surely and permanently change the lives of salesclerks, secretaries, teachers and cubicle dwellers round the world has been announced by Nichiban Co Ltd. The revolutionary new tape dispenser cuts tapes with a nearly straight edge, unlike the jagged ones produced by conventional, lesser, obsolete, traditional, inferior, plain sucky tape dispensers.

It’s the perfect companion to the sticky notes flash drive: the tape dispenser USB hub, for the person who needs to affix a lot of things to other things. How have you lived this long without it?
