Canon has introduced the US$150 Selphy ES40 Compact Photo Printer, which joins the ranks with last year's CP760 and 770 in the company's line of portable, compact photo printers.

These devices are designed to be the home version of the popular walk-up photo kiosk, with high-quality photos at the touch of a button. Like several others in the Selphy line, the ES40 boasts a large 3.5-inch LCD screen and the Easy-Scroll Wheel for quick navigation and basic photo and color editing.

As a testament to Canon's innovation, the ES40 even includes a voice guidance system that vocalizes step-by-step instructions to help you print and even lay graphics over your photos without the use of a manual.

A crease can ruin (or sometimes improve) an often-irreplaceable printed photograph. But new research from HP Labs points toward a future where this is much less of a problem.

Ink Cartridge Lamp lights the way

Recently, I replaced an ink tank in a printer and unthinkingly tossed the empty cartridge into the trash bin. Looking at the BoxLightBox Ink Cartridge Lamp from Etsy.com now, I feel a tad guilty.

Who would have thought that an expanded printer cartridge can be converted into such an interesting home decor item? Not only does it make a great conversation piece when guests swing by, it is also an innovative way to go eco-friendly. It's just a shame there aren't any DIY instructions on how to make the Ink Cartridge Lamp yourself. Instead, you'll have to drop between US$35 and US200 for one of these unique handmade pieces.
