ROSES ARE RED, LASERS ARE VIOLET BLUE

A new laser color has just landed at ThinkGeek and we like what we see. Red and even green lasers are now fairly common but blue lasers not so much. So, if you want to have the latest fashionably cool laser color this year, we've got you covered

This laser outputs light in the 405 nanometer wavelength which produces a very unique blue-violet color beam, that is unusual for a handheld pointer. This is also the same wavelength used in Blu-ray DVD players. The shorter wavelength allows more data to be stored than on a standard DVD which uses a red laser (650 nanometer).

This laser is certainly awesome but it's also useful for applications such as biomedical instrumentation, imaging, spectroscopy, laser induced fluorescence sensing, microscopy. And if you're not into any of those activities, then this laser can be used to write on photoluminescent material like our Glow Graffiti.

• 405nm wavelength
• Output power of <5mw
• Continuous wave (not pulsed) output
• Batteries: takes two CR2, 3V
• Batteries are not included
• Class IIIa laser product
• Dimensions: 5.9" x .625"
• 6 months warranty

YOUR FLASHDRIVE BEEN HACKED

Your Flash-Drive's Been HACKED!

We've got the tiniest flash-drives, and we've got flash-drives that are hardened against attack. Now, we've got flash-drives that look like they’ve been hacked! Imagine yourself, sitting in a coffee-shop. You pull out your venerable laptop, and fire it up. You may not realize it, but there are jealous eyes on your hardware. They see your computer and size you up. Is the computer you carry worth trying to steal? Are you enough of a threat to them? The mental-calculations proceed apace. That is until you reach for your flash drive.

You pull from your bag a seemingly torn and frayed piece of USB cabling. Immediately, your potential miscreant raises an eyebrow. Exactly what does he think he's going to do with that cable? Grinning like a madman, you plug your phantom USB device into your computer, and happily continue on with your work, apparently oblivious to your devices obvious lack of connectivity.

It appears to all around you that you are, indeed, mad. In fact, what you’ve really done is plug in a 2 gigabyte flash drive that's masterfully disguised as a frayed and broken USB cable. You've managed to make it appear that you're insane, and as all thieves know - never EVER screw with an insane person.

Features

• 2GB flash drive cleverly disguised as a frayed and broken USB cable
• Easily transfer and store files, photos and music
