Pencil Pusher Now a trio of Chinese inventors hopes to add another device to the cubicle environment: the P&P Office Waste Paper Processor, which turns paper destined for recycling into pencils. The machine, looking a bit like a three-hole punch crossed with an electric pencil sharpener, was a finalist in the 2010 Lite-On Awards, an international competition that seeks to stimulate and nurture innovation. Here's how the pencil-making gadget works: You insert wastepaper into a feed slot. The machine draws the paper in, rolls and compresses it, and then inserts a piece of lead from a storage chamber located in the top of the device. A small amount of glue is added before -- voilà -- a pencil slides out from a hole on the side. It's not clear how many pieces of paper form a single pencil, but you figure the average office worker could generate a decent supply of pencils in a month. (Source:howstuffworks)

It's been confirmed by high sources that the highly anticipated "Samsung Unpacked 2013: Episode 2" event, happening September 4 in Berlin, exists for the sole purpose of unveiling two new products - the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and its smartwatch accessory, Samsung Galaxy Gear. The first thing that is unshakeable is the fact that the Galaxy Gear exists, which the Korea Times confirmed with Samsung executive vice president Lee Young-hee: The Galaxy Gear is a smartwatch accessory that will accompany the Galaxy Note 3 on September 4. The second thing that is pretty certain of is the fact that Samsung is working on flexible displays, but that the Galaxy Gear will likely not feature it. This also comes from the Korea Times' interview with Lee Young-hee.
