The office is most of the times a cold and impersonal place that most
of the times and that must be corrected. You could do that by getting
some gadgets to make you feel more like home or to entertain you in the
working breaks. In my opinion, the employer should buy some of these
gadgets cause in a way or another they actually increase the work
productivity. A happy worker is an efficient worker. Tell that to your
boss and slam this article in his face calling it “the Christmas
wishlist”.

Sometimes it starts as an innocent mistake, shall we say a case of
mistaken identity. You go to make your morning coffee, and your beloved
mug is not where it should be. The following week you go to the
kitchen and your mug is lying abandoned in the sink with green tea
stains all over it – and you don’t drink green tea!
Before you know it, your mug has been round the office more times
that the mail trolley, and has become home to more varieties of beverage
stains and lipstick marks than is proper for a decent mug.
That’s the problem, so how do you fix it? Cellotape the mug to your
arm? Superglue the mug to your desk? Quit work start campaigning for
awareness relating to mug theft and misuse? These are all worthy ideas,
but we appreciate that you don’t have that kind of time on your hands
(nor want mugs stuck to your hands!).
So enter the Plug Mug. A mug, with a hole in it, which renders it
completely useless to mug thieves. Just keep the plug safely stowed
away from harm (on your key ring or in a vault) and you will find that
no-one is interested in stealing your mug anymore.

DOES THE GIANT RED FAIL STAMP WORK ON IDIOTS’ FOREHEADS?
Yes. It does. Our office tests show positive ink results on a variety
of failbags’ foreheads, although if the size and shape of the FAILer’s
forehead gives you any trouble, might we suggest stamping again, this
time even harder?
Oh, but don’t stop at foreheads. Stamp FAIL on that memo you just got
from that annoying manager. Car broke down on the way to the most
important meeting/interview/date of your life? Stamp FAIL on the hood
and that satisfactory “ka-ching” sound of the stamp doing its magic will
make everything better.
Don’t forget the WIN stamp. Although sometimes it feels like there
are significantly less opportunities to utilize it, it’ll just be that
much more epic when you do. A big fat WIN of black ink is a great way to
show your child that their fridge art has reached the next level of
awesome. Acceptance letters mean that much more with a little extra WIN
on them. Maybe use it as a highlighter to spruce up studying for that
boring history class.
When necessary, jot in your name and the date, so as to properly
document the WINs and the FAILs. Remember: the WIN stamps come in black
and the FAIL stamps come in red. They both print in solid, all-caps
IMPACT font. These are commercial, office-grade stamps that require no
ink pad and are good for hundreds of judgement-filled stampings. Each
stamp produces an imprint that is 1.5 inches wide by .6 inches tall. Our
advice? Order now and spend the rest of the day measuring foreheads.

Once upon a time we dreamed of eating meal-replacement pills while
flying our cars to see a holographic movie. While so much of the
future’s useful technology has failed to materialise, there’s one field
that has come on in leaps and bounds like an untethered spacewalker, and
that’s handwriting-to-typing. Finally you can grab hold of what looks
like a normal pen, write as usual, then download everything on to a
computer as images and text. If it wasn’t so ruddy simple, you’d think
it was witchcraft.

We’ve decided it’s best if we just get the largest, most monstrous
hub on the market, because having more ports than we need is a much
nicer problem than having to acquire a new hub every few months. This
puppy has 24 ports. (And you thought our 16 port hub was crazy!) Connect
up to 24 USB devices with lightning fast 480Mbps transfer speeds. You
can power this hub either directly from your computer or from an AC
outlet. This means you can recharge your digital camera, flipcam, mp3
player, cell phone, everything you want, anywhere there’s a wall socket.
This top grade hub features automatic over-current protection for each
port, hot swapping plug-and-play connection, and the ability to daisy
chain up to 127 USB devices if you’re really crazy.
