Check out this real-life laser-pointer phaser from Star Trek. Its beam won't kill you. It won't even stun you. But shot into the eye it causes instant damage... have a peek at the video to see it in action popping balloons and igniting paper. via Laserpointerforums
What better way to celebrate the excellent revamp of the Star Trek universe than own a revamped Tricorder – now with PMP capabilities. AmeralisGrafx have released their PMP-09, a Tricorder-styled media player that has a 2.8 inch display, 8GB storage and provides 12 hours of music playback and 4 hours of video. It supports MP3, MP4, AVI, JPG, BMP and WAV and has 12 different Star Trek LCARS (Library Computer Access/Retrieval System) interface themes. It's not just the TR-590 Tricorder X-style design available, oh no, there's also Medical, Borg, Marine, Workbee and Troi-styled models, all of which start at the hefty sum of $349. [Via Gizmodo]
