Inkjet printers are more frustrating than you thought
To think that the price of ink is nearly double that of human blood is a mind blowing statistic. What does that really say about our culture? Maybe consumerism has such as stronghold on our society that we habitually refuse to consider prices and accept whatever it is that we’re paying for. Feast your eyes more »
Oddball Tech: Frack IE6 users, ink technology, and bionic people
That is one descriptive title. It totally explains the content of this post. Microsoft has recently come out with its IE8 and I’m sure Firefox is shaking in its boots (if Firefox had boots and actually was afraid of Redmond). Either way, it means that IE6 is even more outdated. At Hugs for Monsters, they have a line of “overly judgmental IE6 splash pages” that could greet users of IE6. The site officially does not care what browser you use, but they mocked up a whole bunch of these pages.
Kodak’s new all-in-one printers
Kodak has two new All-in-One (AiO) printers, the EasyShare 7 (“ESP7″) and the EasyShare 9 (“ESP9″). The ESP7 and ESP9 showcase Kodak’s promise of the lowest ink replacement cost in the industry. MSRP on black ink is $9.99 and color ink is $14.99. Those prices are pretty reasonable. Other goals for these printers are lab-quality prints and easy to use.

Sick of your printer lying to you? Trick it.
Once again your printer is out of ink way before you think there is any way it should be. Yet somehow, BOOM. It just refuses to print another page until you replace the cartridge. Well, when Farhad Manjoo’s Brother printer suddenly stopped printing; he started to wonder if his printer wasn’t simply lying to him that it was out of toner just so he would buy more before he actually even needed it. His prints hadn’t been fading at all; his printer just suddenly simply refused to keep going without a new cartridge.
Manjoo decided to look to the ‘Net for a way around this. And he indeed found some answers. He learned that by covering up the sides of his toner cartridge with a piece of electrical tape he could “trick” his printer into thinking it was full. He says the printer was been chugging along just fine ever since…eight months and hundreds of pages down the road…printing out perfect pages.
