As we approach the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, it's natural to take a look at what has changed in the years since. Those horrific moments when we all watched the twin towers of the World Trade Center collapse live on TV were particularly scarring. You have to wonder how safe such tall buildings really are, because those towers were a model of safe architecture in their day. It might be reassuring to know that we've come a long way in both design and materials since the World Trade Center was designed in the 1960s, and especially in the past twenty years since they fell. -via Digg

Or a Mega-Trangoshan Trans-dimensional, Hyperspatial Planetary Tattoo Gun - widely used in the galactic advertising trade.
On my Mac laptop, its probably some sort of ball marker, but too small to be a golf ball marker.. (use your imagination, fidelity for the win)
My other guess is that it's either used to put a wax seal on wine bottles, or put a cap on a bottle of beer / alcohol
Of course, I could be mixing it up with the golf ball divet maker from way back when.

My balls are monogrammed, with my DNA.
Like one seals used on letters in the old days to identify the sender, and verify that the letter has not been opened.
BTW I don't think identifying the Stevenson Staple Sucker is "easy" for the average "staple ignorant" population. Also, Stevenson later went on to change the name of his company to ACME and was very successful, especially due to an excellent product delivery system.
