why are they comparing it to a colour pencil?
Matt @ May 28th 2007 10:34AM
To show how small it is. Or they could be smart asses and just used a blue pencil cause the laser is blue.

Yeah, what you guys have got to remember is that Sharp are also known for making the worlds biggest pencils.
;-)

Agreed. Let's have a show of hands for everyone whose pencil tip is 3.3mm.
Is 10mW a lot for a laser?

Sharp is Blu-ray backer. What does hd dvd name does there?

And then, while showing it off to the others, Steve accidentally dropped the laser into the sink drain.
"Aw shit, sorry guys..."
"Come on!"
"Fucking 'ay, dude!"
"Fuckin' Steve, man."

Even if they are comparing it to a blue pencil, it is actually a 405nm VIOLET laser like all the Blu-Ray and HD-DVD lasers, not a blue laser as many of you think. This is not a joke.
Of course, they are comparing it to a blue pencil just to compare the size, not necessarily the color.
Lol, but that thing is incredibly small.

After seeing "smallest" on the title, and then looking at the pic while I was browsing through this site casually, I was briefly under the assumption that this was the world's smallest pencil sharpener :-)
