New Laser Mouse
Not much info on this new version of Microsoft’s laser mouse, but we do have pics. It seems that the finger and thumb grooves have been removed and the surfaces have been smoothed all over. The thumb inset appears to be much deeper, and the thumb buttons have also been streamlined to be thinner.

This "driverless vehicle" is called a CyberCar (kind of a misnomer in my opinion), but here it is - a car that takes you places but no driver.
It was recently demonstrated in a Northamptonshire town and uses lasers to avoid obstacles. It is described as designed for "short trips at low speeds in an urban [...]
ARANZ Medical Makes Star Trek Medical Scanner
I dare you to tell me that this doesn’t look exactly like that medical scanner that Bones used in the original Star Trek series. He’d wave this thing over someone’s body and could immediately diagnose whatever was or wasn’t wrong. Of course, that’s not really the case here, as this device is designed to monitor [...]

Radboud University Nijmegan (in the Netherlands, and quite a mouthful), has developed a laser-based storage system that is 100 times quicker than the plain old hard drive (POHD) we’re used to. There’s been a bunch of research into light-based computing, and much of it’s been pretty positive–if not yet quite practical. Now, if they can [...]

Some nefarious plots to kill off the human population are well-hidden, such as the alien virus that vexed Fox Mulder for so many years. Others are right out in the open, like the Lap Blaster from Pyramat. Those ominous laser-beam eyes are not very well-disguised, and those symbols across the side and bottom? If those [...]
CLICK HERE TO READ MORE Giant Hemorrhoid or Deadly Laser? You Decide
Actually, it’s an airborne laser attached to the front of a 747 (not the rear, and so it couldn’t possibly be a ‘roid), and it’s passed numerous tests. A fleet of these monsters will protect us from enemy planes, missiles, and, of course, evil Decepticons. In fact, one has to wonder…

A Petaluma startup called Raydiance Inc. has developed a laser that "looks like an ordinary slide projector," yet can emit "burst of photons so intense that it can vaporize matter without creating heat."
CEO Barry Schuler, who founded Raydiance, says it could be used for any number of purposes, such as removing tattoos without burning [...]
