Laser Etching
Posted in Technology on 15 Dec 2006 at 12:51 am
This new company that came up in New York City called Adafruit Laser Services which etches images on any types of gadget you have a camera, a phone, an ipod, a shuffle, an mp3 player, and a laptop.
Its just like tattoo for laptops! It will never go away and they do an amazing job. You have to make an appointment to get your gadget etched which is like a high-end tattoo parlor. So the only place to do it at this point is New York since they don’t accept any mail oder equipment. I think thats the first thing I would do if Im in New York anytime soon. It would be pretty damn cool.
Its $100 for a laptop/power book, and $30 for smaller gadgets.

I’ve seen these before, there was this chick who wanted a Macbook Pro and she launched a campaign, help me get a macbook pro, and she sold advertising space on her macbook so you can send in your logo for a certain price and she would go use her macbook pro later on in popular spots, i.e. coffee shops and that would get people to see it. yeah she did raise the 2,500$ for the macbook pro and sold all the space on it to advertisers. i think the link is this. Check it out.

Yeah I’ve seen that before. I also heard that there’s a gold store here in Kuwait where they can engrave anything you want on almost any solid surface.
