I remember laser turntables wa-a-a-ay back in the 1970's. I distinctly recall a very expensive one that played the music with light, not touching the disk at all; and of course there was the popular Bang & Olufson that used a second arm with light to move the conventional needle.

"Did I mention it will even play your records broken?!?" Yes you did, many times! You sound like a ... forget it.

Maybe the record never moves and the "Frikin' Laser Beam" is the component that is actually spinning which would be an explination for how it could read broken records... If that's not the case, then I'd be interested in how they do it.

Actually, it was posted on digg quite some time ago, cuz I've known about it for months, and this is where I first heard of it. I won't call dupe this time, though, since it was quite a long time ago.

I don't think this product is waterproof. =)

Why? You're a cornucopia of repression and resentment based on something I'm guessing you like to call morality - now that truly is sad and scary.Okay, cornucopia is a bit of an overstatement. In fact you're more of just a cookie cutter example, a preprogrammed response, nothing special really in what you said, except for the vaguely gaurded hatred in your tone. Most people do have a thing called empathy, you know....Maybe if you can read those two books I mentioned, or go try to live in a s**tty apartment in some s**tty part of a s**tty city and then come back and tell me what I said was both sad and scary.Even in the nicer parts of cities, towns and so on there are plenty of more things more 'sad and scary'. Personally I'd rather know and talk about such things then even think about people like you and your cardboard world... blah blah blah
