Like the red swingline?

Can someone explain that joke(?) ?

Before the film Office Space, there was no red version of the swingline stapler. After the film, they were inundated with requests for a red version of their stapler.

So they manufactured it.

It sure looks like a 3D rendering to my eyes.

unless it was photographed in outer space or hard vacuum, judging by the shadows alone, it is a 3d rendering (not to mention speculars, pinhole etc etc..

From the second sentence of TFA: "Many people doubt it’s real, especially as the images of it are renderings"

I'd actually be interested to have the area where my wrists make contact with the keyboard be responsive like a large version of the old Thinkpad "TrackPoint" cursor dot thingy.

The unofficial name was "the clitoris" - with practice I liked it but I don't often get chance to play with one now ;0)>

"the old Thinkpad "TrackPoint" cursor dot thingy." = "clitoris"

Mods you're a cruel unbending lot - that is simple factual information.

Not that being modded down bothers me at all, no sireee.

Don't worry about it. I had to spend ~2 minutes looking for what it was actually called.
