I idle on #pseudo-servers on ECnet (where #laserchat is hosted, our chat channel) so I saw this item from the Digg bot (a Digg RSS feed)
Looking further shows me
I posted the following comment on the Digg thread
Then decided to follow the link to see what sort of lies and disreputable business WL is spreading now.
And absolutely no reference to where to buy it.
Regardless, I proceeded to register and post the same comment to proof against anyone with half a brainstem who googled "Photonic Disruptor" and got it.
I thought that this kind of promotion for WL needed some serious countering. I encourage you to register with Digg and continue the fight against WL.

The Most Dangerous Object in the Office This Month: The Photonic Disruptor
This laser is borderline illegal. With an output of 105 milliwatts, it's 21 times more powerful than your average presentation pointer. It was designed for SWAT and military use in nonlethal takedowns.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE NEVER BUY FROM WICKED LASERS. YOU WILL BE ROBBED!!!
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SPYDER OR PHOTONIC DISRUPTOR SERIES LASER MADE THAT EVEN MEETS ITS RATED POWER
WICKED LASERS ARE THE KING OF DODGY BUSINESS PRACTICES
SPREAD THE WORD
For half the price you can get the same power, but actually the same power or more (as Wicked have a reputation of being WAY under spec, and Nova way OVER spec) at www.novalasers.com
Or for the same price, and a bit more, you can get a RPL series at www.optotronics.com that will provide DOUBLE the rated power of the PD.
To find out more about burning lasers, and how you can put together a red laser at ~185mW for under $60, go to www.laserpointerforums.com

This laser is borderline illegal. With an output of 105 milliwatts, it's 21 times more powerful than your average presentation pointer. It was designed for SWAT and military use in nonlethal takedowns. The adjustable-focus green ray will do permanent retinal damage to anyone within about 60 feet, visually disorients people up to 1,150 feet away, and illuminates objects almost 2 miles out. Alternative uses: melting plastic, lighting fireworks, and settling heated disagreements over Wired kitchen queue-cutting on Burger Thursdays.
