Tech Week Article 2/25


Projects a dazzling stars pattern of laser dots

It's no secret that we monkeys love lasers. Lasers are pretty darn cool in our opinion, and really, whose opinion do you value more than ours? (We'll give you a moment to think...) Exactly. We thought so. Even though lasers have become widely available and pretty inexpensive, we're still all about lasers. They're just fascinating. Just about every application of lasers we can think of gets our stamp of approval. Laser light shows, DVD players, laser surgery, and laser-based research are all good in our book.
This laser projects a green pattern that is very reminiscent of a star field. Just twist the front cap and the pattern changes from lightly speckled to a dense field of stars. So pretty... shiny... come to think of it, how close are monkeys to cats, DNA-wise?
