Little Printer | BERG Cloud – I can’t decide how I feel about this. It’s obviously some pretty cool technology, and the design is great. But thermal printing a mini-newspaper for myself each morning seems so deliberately anachronistic. Like, why wouldn’t I just look at that stuff on my phone? This might actually be TOO…
