Graffiti Research Lab’s [James Powderly] along with 9 other Tibet supporters were deported from China during the Olympic’s closing ceremonies. Detained on the 19th, the activists were to serve a 10 day sentence, but the Chinese government buckled under international pressure and deported them early. This brings the total number of deported activists to 53 since the start of the games.
Graffiti Research Lab is well known for its laser tagging research.

Over Instructables, a guy shows how he used a laser etching mechine to tattoo himself. Such a crazy idea! Well, some people use laser to remove tattoo, while others use laser to tattoo…
He describes:
The sound by itself (meaning no body parts in the cutter), is probably the easiest thing to deal with. It is just the normal whine of gears, belts and cooling fans. When that sound is mixed in with the sensation of burning flesh, it turns the laser cutter from a simple machine shop tool to a futuristic torture device.
The sight is not too bad, just a light tracing its way back and fourth across the body. As long as you don’t think about the fact that the small wisp of smoke trailing the light, is actually vaporized skin, everything will be fine.
The smell is bad. It does not travel far, but when you catch a whiff of the burnt flesh stench, it is quite nauseating. The thought that you have just inhaled some of those vaporized skin flakes, and they have settled on the bottom of your lungs, is the worst.

They are really interested in laser, just like me.
Yes, it is. I agree with Marco Nero.
In a recent brain research, laser was used to dissect a region that suppose to be responsible for depression for study. Link
A laser light show with a patriotic theme will replace Vienna’s traditional fireworks display this Fourth of July after an accident last year injured about a dozen spectators.
The Vienna Town Council voted Monday to spend as much as $22,000 on a contract with Baltimore’s Image Engineering to put on the display at the same field near Vienna Elementary School as years past.
