If your computer has ever crashed, causing you to lose valuable information, you’ve probably fought the urge to throw it out the window or worse. Thankfully Patrick Staudt developed this concept PetPad mouse which features a built in stress ball for squeezing your rage away. The device allows customizable ‘pillows’ to be attached to the top of the mouse while the conventional buttons are mounted beneath the base plate and controlled by lateral tilt.

If the stress of the office is getting the better of you, then it may be time to bust out some psychedelic light effects with this Laser sphere. The light show can be contained in the sphere, or you can remove the lid and let the colors fill the room, providing a hypnotizing effect that will help take your worries away. And since there’s no bong required, you may actually remember the experience. Check out some additional photos after the break.
Make the most of your lunch hour with the Office Escape Box. Basically, it’s a cardboard picnic basket that you can fill with your favorite foodstuffs. It also has what you could call an “office camouflage” design with a briefcase print on one side, a shirt and tie on the other and a keyboard print around the base.
The box comes with a selection of compostable trays, bowls and utensils, but what it really needs is a pillow. Probably a good idea to find some room for that.
Are you stressed out at your job? Vent by physically crushing another frustrating memory from the ’80s—Space Invaders.

Sure, nobody wants to wear a ties at work, but the Pillow Tie is different. A mouthpiece at the end allows you to inflate the tie so it can be used as a pillow for quick naps at work, or at weddings, or wherever a suit is necessary.

A while back, Harcos Labs came out with one of the most painful toy hacks ever. The point of the experiment was to hack a device so that it would shock the hell out of someone if they didn’t remain calm.
Using a combination of gadgets from Mindlfex, Radio Shack, QKits and Dremel to detect the frequency of brain activity, those who were dumb enough to act as guinea pigs for this experiment were reportedly ordered to stay calm lest they be shot with a healthy dose of electricity.
Well, as luck (or stupidity) would have it, Harcos Labs decided to modify the shock machine. The difference this time around is that now users have to keep full concentration in order to avoid being shocked. What? You want me to focus on not getting electrocuted? Piece of cake.
Make sure to check out the shocking footage after the break.
IDesia has developed technology called BioDynamic Signature technology (BDS) that can detect stress just by touching a sensor. The device measures the user’s heartbeat and allows them to become aware of excessive stress and high resting heart rates that can adversely affect the immune system and lead to a number of health problems including high blood pressure as well as heart and kidney disorders.
