« Firefox 3 arrives at 1 p.m. Tuesday: Awesome or not? | Main | First look: Firefox 3, and a hunt for compatible extensions » June 16, 2008'Mosquito' device that adults can't hear is banned in UK countyCouncil bans 'anti-teen' gadget. BBC: A 2006 item about the device with the tone audible only to young people (Teens share ringtone grownups can't hear) was one of the most-read posts on this blog, ever. Now comes news that "Kent County Council in south east England has become one of the first in the UK to ban the 'Mosquito' gadgets from its buildings." Some shopkeepers had been using it to discourage teens from hanging out in front of their stores. No word on whether the ringtone version -- which lets teens call each other without the ring being audible to teachers -- will fall, too. You can still try to hear the Teen Buzz ringtone, and download it. Posted by Sheila Lennon |
