Kewlies, you can move your mouse pointer by shining a laser pointer into its optical eye!

Yeah yeah, I know.. "You didn't know that?! Welcome to 2001... BC!" the thought never crossed my mind until now after using it to play with my cats.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye (your mouse).

Just don't try and use a real CO2 laser.

I knew but then I forgot.

I never really thought about it, or really wanted to try.

You can also reprogram your car's ECU with that laser pointer. Not many people know about this. If you remove the protective top cover, you'll expose the circuit board.

On there, you'll find the photoelectric eye; it's location varies according to manufacturer, but it's on there. By shining the light at different angles, you engage the various reprogramming subroutines of the ECU.

Wouldn't that be, uh, BAD?

Would be a cleaver way to mess with someones car, if you're deranged enough to try.

Portable GC lamps will erase eproms in about a second. That's really bad to do say on a piece of hardware controlling defence systems. The bruises, dog bites and high speed ride in MP vehicle is worth it!

my head esplodes.

kewlies?

I don't have a laser pointer for testing
