- aaron695 5y ago> Just fyi this is not a new idea (not to detract from the creator) Sorry but this is HN mythological bullshit. It's a well known criticism that Nathan Myhrvold uses his yet to exist 'mosquito laser' to justify his patent trolling. (No comment if it's true) Meh, it's a known idea because while stoned people talked about it in the 90's. If you have a link to working models though, feel free to post. Idea's are worth nothing. Worse Myhrvold's TED talk was misleading.
