Kodak has brand new all-in-one printer

September 2nd, 2010 admin No comments

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.

Just like the other models from Kodak’s range of home inkjet printers, the ESP 9250 will come with an intelligent bar code system which optimizes settings for superior printing performance thanks to Kodak’s versatile proprietary pigmented ink system. Kodak Printers are able to detect and adjust for printing documents or photos automatically, thanks to a bar code reader which will function seamlessly with Kodak Photo Paper in order to customize the printer’s ink output, delivering an ideal result for the selected paper. This kind of intelligent design makes sure there is no need for you to think when it comes to churning out prints of your favorite images.

Not only that, the ESP 9250 will also be able to actively monitor and display how much ink and paper are available both on the printer LCD display as well as remotely on the computer screen. With an auto-engaging photo tray that holds three sizes of paper, Wi-Fi and networking connectivity, you can virtually print from anywhere within the home or office, including from an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad device. It even comes with integrated templates that make it a snap to print a variety of forms, such as graph paper, line paper, wide-ruled paper, tic-tac-toe, to do lists, grocery lists and even sheet music. The Kodak ESP 9250 Printer will retail for $249.99 and should be out on store shelves already.

NTT’s “t-room” is almost like being there

August 27th, 2010 admin No comments

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.

In the photo, you see these two people shaking hands. In actuality, only the man is real, and has just overlapped his hand with the image on the screen.

Not only is the t-room good for video conferencing, but it is possible for the user on either end to program a different background. For example, the user gets to see the Aurorae in the video. Not only can the background change, but the user can put windows of information on display, as if life was one big Powerpoint Presentation. You can also see that in the video, along with some weird time-delay feature. If you haven’t watched the video by now, then I don’t know how many more hints I can drop to get you to watch it.

I’ve had a lot of phone calls and video conferences in my time, but I think the most life-like communication that I could experience, other than being there, is with the t-room.

Sharpie creates liquid pencils

August 13th, 2010 admin No comments

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.

We already have erasable pens and mechanical pencils, I suppose this was the logical next step.  We just couldn’t keep writing in the same way that other generations did 50 years ago.  These Sharpie pencils will allow for you to erase your work up to a certain point.  After it’s been sitting for over 3 days you won’t be able to erase it, but for at least a little while you can.  These are already making their way to Office Depot just in time for the back to school frenzy of shopping.

Rubber Bandit Pen makes you king of the cubicles

August 3rd, 2010 admin No comments

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.

POD Lamp with docking station

July 18th, 2010 admin No comments

If you’re trying to set up a desk in a dorm room you have to be smart about the space you use up.  That usually means working solely on a laptop and all of your other gadgets need to do double duty.  This POD Lamp might be worth adding to the list of gadgets to pick up before August comes around.  The light moves to all sorts of angles, plus it can hold and charge your iPod within the base of the light.

The base also helps with cable management since the cord for your MP3 player of choice just slips through the bottom of the lamp.  It features a 13 watt bulb that is said to last up to 10,000 hours, so it should last through any studying you might do throughout the year.  The light itself can function at multiple heights and angles, you just have to find the one that works for you. You can purchase one of these for $69.99 through OttLite.

Portable office for the easily movable workspace

July 4th, 2010 admin No comments

As a professional blogger, I don’t really have an office per se. In fact, all I really need to do my job are three things: a laptop, an electrical outlet, and a stable Wi-Fi hotspot.

However, I used to work for “the man”, and there is one thing that I know about corporations: never have permanent office space. Perhaps you work in an office where there is this unnecessary shuffling of cubicles, and I’m sure you are having a hard time seeing the big picture.

I would suggest that you simply make your office spaces more portable with these portable offices. As you can see, all your office equipment such as chairs, desk, shelves, etc. can all be put on this one thing, and then moved with the simplicity of a wheelbarrow. After the jump is a picture of what it all looks like when it is placed.

I can’t help but feel sorry for this guy in this picture. He looks like he works at some real evil corporation out of some dystopian future like 1984 or Brazil. The fact that he has that “Agent Smith” from The Matrix movies look to his hair isn’t helping.

Still, this is the way of the future, isn’t it? Everything is easily portable so it can always be moved around. This doesn’t inspire a lot of trust in permanent features, does it?

Pivot Power Creative Outlet

June 29th, 2010 admin No comments

Power strips never want to budge, they just stay stick straight.  Well thankfully Quirky Products is offering a new solution.  This one will be able to move and conform to any shape that pleases you.  It’ll make stashing it into small spaces a whole lot easier than the straight strips.  You can even just put it in a zig-zag shape for silly decorative reasons.

Being a Quirky product you get to feel more like you’re a part of the process.  It shows you just how many units of the bunch have been sold and how much money is going to each of the inventors and contributers involved in the making of this odd little power strip.  These are currently up for pre-sale for $23 through Quirky.

Key Cap Puller saves keys

June 24th, 2010 admin No comments

This just goes to show there is a tool for absolutely everything.  No matter how small the task, somewhere out there is a tool meant for that job and that job alone.  Now granted there’s probably less chance of breaking keys if you’re using something like this as opposed to using a butter knife, but do you really pick apart keyboards enough to justify it?

This probably would make life easier for anyone that takes care of more than one keyboard or anyone that just has the tendency to manage to break the strangest things.  This Key Cap Puller takes and pulls each of the corners with equal force, so you won’t have any damage.  It will fit most key caps and might motivate you to clean underneath the keys more often.  You can purchase one for $6.19 through CyberGuys.

Mummy Mike spruces up your desktop

June 19th, 2010 admin No comments

Do you happen to look for a rubber band frantically up and down when you need it the most, only to not find one? Live out the Boy Scouts’ motto always with Mummy Mike then, enhancing his mummification process with loose rubber bands wrapped all around so that you can call upon his assistance when required. This is a fun and unique desk accessory, and although we haven’t seen any green mummies in natural history museums before, Mummy Mike will certainly add more than a dash of color to your workspace. Mummy Mike is also more than happy to accept hair ties just in case you’re one who keeps long hair. $9.99 is the asking price for Mummy Mike.
