I'm honestly a little scared that the Wicked Lasers Spyder III exists. Normally, the lasers the general public can get its hands on are more or less, you know, for pointing at movie screens and pissing people off. The Spyder III? For $200, you've got yourself a damn lightsaber.

We've got some pretty cheap phones here in the States that are pay-as-you go — sometimes referred to as burners — though you probably haven't used too many of those unless you don't have a cellular plan or you're a...
