Security Cam Footage of Cubicle Rage to the Extreme is Every Cube Dweller's Fantasy

This is a security cam video of a guy who, to put it lightly, is sick of working in a cubicle farm. If you're looking to get yourself fired in a way that'll legally prevent you from ever entering the office or interacting with any of your former coworkers again, with a free room at the county correctional facility tossed in for good measure, throwing a computer monitor at a coworker and then systematically destroying the entire office is a pretty good way to do so. On the upside, showing your boss this video might be a good way to get him to upgrade you to an LCD monitor. They hurt less when thrown, one would assume.
Update: Hit the jump for video from another angle, a co-worker's cellphone, in color and with sound. More »

Globus Mobile Is Office in a Bubble

The Globus Mobile is a complete office workstation and chair hidden in a large ball. The concept by designer Michiel van der Kley can be moved to any place using its hidden wheels. When you want to work, you just swivel it open and bingo: you can slot in a laptop, perch on the padded chair and think up as many chicken-and-egg or ping-pong ball jokes as you like.

Office Cubicle Reimagined as Office Pod

If every corporate American office had workspaces like the Eclipse partition system, I might not be so terrified of becoming a suit. Designer Marcus Curran came up with this concept as part of an industrial design thesis he was working on while in school at the University of Melbourne. The central idea behind this contraption is versatility. Its retractable hood allows for various levels of privacy and access to accommodate to the changing work flow of one's daily job... not to mention room for a few shiny gadgets. More »

Cubicle Alarm System Locks On, Makes Horrible Racket, Fires Missiles

Friendless inhabitants of cubicles the world over will be happy with this three-tiered alarm system that guards your work space. Should an intruder penetrate that little gray area you call your office, alarm #1 alerts you to the fact by flashing lights and making a hideous noise, at the same time arming the second and third alarms. Alarm #2 then locks on to the trespasser, targeting them with a red light, before alarm #3 launches a couple of foam missiles at the guilty party. I can't decide whether this $39.99 system is sad or funny. Oh, and any cake-stealing geeks out there, then get in touch with me for basic lessons in how to nick yourself a nice Battenberg and not get fingered for it. Speed is the of the (vanilla) essence, really. [ThinkGeek]
