Computer Toolbar Chases Mosquitoes Away

Mosquitoes bugging you while you're online? Empas, one of Korea's major Web portal sites, Monday unveiled a toolbar, which it claims keeps about half of mosquitoes away from computer users. [via The Korea Times]

"Those who want to try out the intriguing applications can download the Empas Toolbar 2.0 at empas.com free of charge and must configure the program based on their locations. The anti-mosquito feature will work as long as computers are on.

... Mosquito-repelling services are already available through mobile phones but this is the first time that the applications have been embedded in an Internet service package."
