Laser pointers

More good news. Laser pointers: Most red, green lasers are more powerful than allowed by law. Excellent. I like the definition that a laser pointer is "a handheld laser intended to trick an audience into thinking your PowerPoint slides are even vaguely interesting" As evidence they proffer this formal paper presentation which is well worth a look. Also of interest is the Russian take on all of this: Party laser 'blinds' Russian ravers. Now they don't have to rely on the bathtub vodka to get blind. Them Russkis.
