Pencil Printer by Hoyoung Lee, Seunghwa Jeong and Jimyoung Yoon

The refined Pencil Printer part II comes with detailed explanations and a better understand of saving the environment from paper trash and permanency of Ink! In here we see how the lead shavings feed the cartridge toner and prints effortlessly on paper. Mistakes are easily erased, and once the crappy memo is done with…you can erase all the gibberish and re-use the paper.

Printstik

The world’s smallest printer – Printstik – weights a mere 1.5 pounds and uses thermal technology to print.

In terms of green cred, eliminating toner cartridges can save a whole lot of packaging waste, especially given how quickly ink supplies can run out. Plus, the printer derives its power from Lithium-ion polymer rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable batteries are certainly more earth-friendly than disposables, but it’s a safe bet that mobile printers can save more energy than traditional, plug-in printers. This is especially true in office environments, where people tend to leave printers turned on or plugged in all day, even when the devices aren’t in use.

The reviewer mentions that rechargeable batteries would be an improvement, but it still seems like a fantastic product, and a dramatic improvement in terms of printer efficiency.

The flash drive holds 4GB of memory – though larger capacity models are planned – and employs 256-bit AES encryption. To use, you register several pictures of your face, which will then be checked against what your web cam sees to confirm that you’re the owner. The entire process takes about one second. Surprisingly, there’s also no need to download or install any additional software. The drive is about 98% accurate, with a backup password authentication system for that other 2% of the time.

It costs $110 and it’s currently only available in Japan. [ Excite ]

Moldable Mouse breaks the boundaries of the traditional mouse with its revolutionary design. Currently, all computer mouse products in the market are made with hard plastic, and their shapes are not universally adaptable to the human hand. Even the most advanced ‘ergonomically designed’ mouse does not fit the preferences of every user. The inelasticity of the plastic model is problematic for long-time usage, as numerous people have suffered wrist injuries from extensive use in a fixed position. Moldable Mouse eliminates this problem with its unique design.
