Hmm. Blue tooth for me I think.

We probably need to try this to verify.

I agree.

I saw an episode of Brainiacs where they tried using 100 mobile phones to boil an egg. 50 phones were placed on and around the egg and the other 50 were used to phone the original 50. Let them ring for ages. The result? One still-raw egg.

QED.

what ever that means.:lol:

That has come up over and over and the amount of radio power a cell phonce gives out is tiny...I still don't believe children should have phones but that is less the danger more a why do they need them question.

I am slowly becoming anti-cell phone, and it has nothing to do with radiation. (Although my mom, who works in a hospital, says one of the theories on spiraling testicle cancer is cell phones in the pocket)

I am just so tired of being available, so I often just leave my cell at home. Bugger off, always-have-to-talk-to-someone-people!

I keep my cell phone in my car and only my family has the number.

My cell phone is for me to call people, not for people to call me. :up:

My phone travels with me everywhere, and nobody ever calls me and I never call anybody. Well, the temp agencies call me with work and I call them asking about work, but that's about it.

I use it so little I dropped my rate plan, because my average monthly usage is less than 100 minutes.

:p

:p100 minutes? Someone talks that much on a phone in a given month? That's an hour and 40 minutes straight!

I think the UK is the home of the mobile. I get so pissed off by these people who walk down the street texting and when they bumbp into you give you such a look as if you shouldn't have been there. Also they text their friends and then go meet up in a bar somewhere. I bet the conversation is great, or they text each other.

The OP link is actually a viral ad for bluetooth headsets, so I guess it served its purpose!

Those videos of people using cell phones to cook eggs and make popcorn are hoaxes.
