While the youtube spoof on the idea hasn't gone viral just yet, the science behind a laser based mitigation system for mosquito-spread malaria may become ubiquitous in mosquito ridden regions in the near future. Former Microsoft CTO, Nathan Myhrvoid, and astrophysicist Lowell Wood have been working since 2007 on the idea. For a good laugh, see the spoof here . For more details on the project, read this .

They strip down a variety of subject matter each week, offering podcasts, articles, games and books. They also answer questions, provide breaking news and, of course, do it all "naked".
