As the number of documents you actually need to print diminishes year by year, you’re probably finding that you don’t use office accessories as quickly. Like staples, which are all but useless without stacks of paper to bind. But designer Nilly Mozer has come up with another way to use them up: A lovely clear table that’s really only complete once you’ve adorned it with rows and rows of staples.

It has only been a couple of months since Apple launched its two new tablets, the iPad Air and the Retina display touting iPad mini. Customers have a variety of options on their hands when it comes to purchasing these products. They can either go with Apple’s own retail stores, its online store or through various carriers and retailers. Staples also carries Apple’s products, and while it previously only sold the new tablets through its online store, the retailers brick-and-mortar stores will now carrying the iPad Air as well as the Retina iPad mini.
Customers who wish to trade in their old iPads can get up to $300 from Staples for it as well as 5 percent back in rewards credits. Retailers also run different promotions from time to time, so its possible that Staples might offer a sweet deal on the new tablets sometime in the future. You can call up for local Staples and see if the tablets are in stock, apparently some stores only have one out of the two tablets in stock right now. Inventory may vary, but if you find yourself in a Staples someday and feel the immediate urge to pick up a new iPad, they’ll have you covered. The retailer isn’t carrying the iPhones in its stores, it says that it first wants to see how the iPads perform.

Perhaps placing Amazon lockers right within the confines of a couple of its toughest competitors might not have been such a great idea after all. Several months ago, Staples and RadioShack agreed to add the online retailer’s lockers inside a few brick and mortar locations so that Amazon customers could choose to pick up their goods at the store instead of missing a delivery, with the host retailer getting a small fee in exchange. According to Bloomberg however, Staples and RadioShack have now decided to yank the lockers from their stores. Staples claimed the Amazon deal “didn’t meet the criteria” that was set up, while RadioShack stated that the lockers “didn’t fit with its strategy.” We can’t say we’re terribly surprised to see the rivals part ways, but hey, at least you can still find an Amazon locker in select 7-Elevens.

It didn’t take long for us to grab some important details (well, a time and a place) about an incoming Surface RT price cut. Our source has forwarded a Staples ad — and working link — which reveals that a $150 price cut on the entry-level 32GB Surface RT will start this Sunday 14th July. No word on a discounted Touch Cover option, however, at least not from Staples, but we’ll fill you in if there’s other retailers jumping on the discount.
(Thanks, Brandon!)
