Vyralize: Staples will soon be offering 3D printing facilities at its retail outlets.
TechCrunch - The Amazon effect continues to be felt among the brick-and-mortar faithful. Today, office supply superstore Staples announced that it would close 225 stores by 2015, some 10% of its worldwide footprint, as it continues to move more of is business online — now half of its total sales. The news came out in the company’s Q4 and full-year earnings, which noted full years sales figures of $23.1 billion for 2013 — working out to $11.5 billion in online sales for the year.
If you're still holding out for a Motorola Xoom, here's some good news. The folks at Droid Life snagged a picture of a Staples ad depicting March 27th as the targeted release date for the slate.
$599 is not to bad, but could be better, after PlayBook released, which is. Set close in specs...
The Game Guys on news10.net realize that while it's easy for gamers to know what video game gifts they may want, those who aren't into gaming probably have no clue what's good to buy or what's a good deal. That's where the below little list comes in, designed to help those who don't know much about video games look like they know almost all there is come this year's Black Friday.
I truly can't wait for 3D printing... it will be awesome once it's a consumer product.
Just need to wait a little bit before I can print my car!
this is cool hopefully they use really good material and its cheap.
LOL I expect the news in a couple years to say...
"child builds gun using 5 different staples locations and a 3D design."
the law is going to hit this heavy in the states.
This is great! 3D printers could use more good publicity. Maybe within five years they'll be as commonly used as laserjet printers.
