Pac Man Stapler Really Should Be Yellow

Adam Frucci — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 09:50:00 EDT

Will a stapler shaped like Pac Man distract you from your office drone work enough to make life in a cubicle bearable? I doubt it, but hey, it's worth a shot. [Panik Design via Nerd Approved]

HP's 3-Megapixel Elite Auto Focus Webcam Looks Like a Fancy Stapler

Jason Chen — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:45:00 EDT

HP's Elite Auto Focus Webcam not only boasts one of the highest megapixel video counts we've seen (3-megapixels), but it's also got a 12-megapixel still image sensor for regular pics. It comes with the stapler-like stand, but you can also clip it onto a monitor for more of an eye-level view. There's AIM, Windows Live Messenger, Skype and Yahoo Messenger compatibility, stereo microphone, USB 2.0, and privacy cover for your alone times. Although you might be buying this for the 3-megapixel video, be aware that you only get about 5-6 FPS in that mode—you'll have to pump it down to VGA resolution for a fluid 30 FPS.

This family of crazy staple removers and other office implements are by New York designer Jac Zagoory, crafted of pewter and certain to elicit raised eyebrows and quizzical looks around the office. What the heck is that skull doing on your desk? The purpose of the lion, gorilla and gator you'll see in the gallery below are a little more obvious. All are between $45 and $65, but the shark bite stapler will cost you $90. [Jac Zagoory Designs, via Dark Roasted Blend]

Shocking Stapler

Ensure that nobody ever borrows your stapler again with this real-looking Shocking Stapler. It's even colored red like Milton's, which means your co-workers are all the more tempted to grab for it as they drop by unannounced while you're trying to get some work done.

The only downside is that it's not a real stapler, which may actually be an upside since you won't have to worry about staplers flying all over the place when your buddy gets shocked and throws this across the room. – Jason Chen
