The skin-ablation laser tattoo we showed you recently was creepy mainly because burning your naked skin is going to hurt, but this new laser body-mod tackles a safer target, fingernails.

See that robot there? It’s burned by a laser-etch machine. On genyoowine human skin. Ohoho yes: that sent an icky feeling up your spine didn’t it? If it didn’t, then it should have.

Samsung SE-B046: PC Blu-Ray Burner Looks like a PS3

It uses a second laser to handle DVD and CD burning (I believe burning), and does it all via USB2.0 and Firewire. Coming in 2008. Samsung SE-B046…
