Computex 2009：採用USB電力的小小碎紙機

****
在跑Computex展的時候，大廠不必說，一定是沒有什麼問題，會歡迎媒體採訪。而有些比較小的廠商，若想被採訪，有時也會通知我們，告知展區在哪兒。當然，絕大部分的，是可有可無，這部分，就是靠我們自己來逛了。

但有些廠商，是非常不願意被其他人拍照的。當然，我可以理解，這牽涉到同業競爭，或是Idea被抄襲。我跑的期間，被拒絕次數，應該有到十位數吧。基本上我也不會偷拍，偷拍SG也就算了，但偷拍廠商的Idea，被我們報導出來，萬一真的有什麼機會造成該廠的損失，那我可會愧疚到死了。

<Computex 2009: USB-Powered Paper Shedder>
Sometimes we would come across some manufacturers who don't welcome photo journals. Of course, it is quite understandable in terms of preventing unwanted competition or preventing their products being duplicated without permission. During the course of the event we have been rejected dozens and dozens times over. Basically, we don't take snap shots (with the exception of show girls), just to avoid any regrettable event from happening.

所以一般說來，被拒絕我自然是摸摸鼻子走了。不過因為第一眼看到這個碎紙機，而且是USB介面的，實在很吸引人，所以我在那邊擼了滿久的。後來剛好出現一個人，他願意給我拍，所以就有機會報一下這有趣的小玩意。

很可惜沒辦法試玩。關於碎紙戰鬥力的部分。據說他是絕對堪用。不過由於電力要一安培，所以需要用到兩個USB埠才行。希望之後在台灣能夠看到這個產品的販售呀。

However, we were so intrigued by this USB-powered paper shedder, after the initial reject, we still hang around for quite awhile. Finally there is someone from the showroom who agreed us to take the photos, so we finally get the chance to make report on this interesting gadget.

Unfortunately we were not allowed to try it. According to the manufacturer's representative, the shedding capacity of this thing is described as 'sufficiently capable'. The operating power requires 1 amp of current, so two USB ports are required to operate it.
