If you're truly trying to protect wares that actually posses a substantial level of worth, we'd recommend a few alternatives more suited for the job, but if you're simply trying to keep the office snoop from "borrowing" your red stapler, this cubicle defense system ought to suffice. Put simply, the three devices can be set up around your personal space, and while the first unit simply flashes, emits a blast and simultaneously alarms the other two, the second device actually throws out an uber-terrifying (okay, so maybe that's a stretch) red beam to further startle the invader. If he / she persists, the final unit launches two non-lethal missiles to let that encroacher know that you mean business. Yeah, it's not exactly intimidating, but if you've nothing better to do than watch a demonstration of the $39.99 system in action, check it out after the jump.
would be a neat idea.. just pop the thing open, find the speaker outputs, and tie that to some other alerting system, like a GSM radio to send text messages
But who is going to have this in their cube. The noise it makes would piss me off if I had to hear that every time some jackass wanted to try it out. Make it silent so it doesn't intrude on everyone. Maybe that airsoft gun turret, 5000 RPM would be more of a deterrent.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"

And if, if they take my stapler, I will, I will set this building on
fire.
Milton FTW!
this is the last straw
This is just begging for some syringe needles to be glued onto the missiles. For uh, weighting. Yeah.
Or a taser!
Don't Taze Me Bro
Is it just me or this might actually work as a cheap alarm system?

-a MUST HAVE.
The modding possibilities are endless.
Huh, surprising... no Milton, Office Space pun...
Someone made the stapler pun.

Meant in the article... ;)
So how do you turn it off when you want to grab your own stapler for a sec..?
I love the way that the theif just gives up disappointedly when the missiles hit him.
Me too, was somewhat embarrassed at how bad the movie was but the ending made me laugh aloud. It was all worth it (and now I want one).
I saw an ad for this on TV just about 20 minutes ago. It was advertised under the Spy Gear brand as a CHILDREN'S TOY.
I would like to know if you can link multiple systems together. Two missiles might not do much, ten would probably get the point across.
10x40$ is way too much for a toy.. Or even a bunch of toys :P.
