The DoD Should Pay These Guys...

In case you haven't seen it already, a company named Intellectual Ventures thinks that they may have a new way to combat malaria, an automatic, computer-controlled, anti-mosquito laser that can shoot down fifty to a hundred mosquitoes per second. That's the equivalent of over a hundred bodyguards armed with flyswatters. Laser flyswatters.

I wonder how long it will be until they are commercially available in a handy pen form?

I'm not holding my breath since they haven't even begun producing them in...well, giant robot turret of death form, or whatever they're supposed to be producing them in.

I just hope they're produced in my lifetime and that they're strong enough to zap bluebottles. :D

Well, they're already talking about locusts. Can humans be far behind?
