Is that real? Seems like it just has to be fake.

Grey, you have tons of phones around. Can you try this sometime?

If that is real I'll go out on a limb and say it's a good argument on the side of cell phones cause brain cancer.

It's likely a hoax, along the same lines as this:

it's fake. just for grins i took 7 cell phones around some microwave popcorn i pulled out of a bag, and nothing happened besides my unshielded speakers lost their damn mind and made that buzzing noise.

Yes, there really is a demon in your cell phone.

I hate that shit. Any time I'm doing a recording if the guy with the microphone has a blackberry in his pocket or a Motorola it ruins the signal.

It has got nothing to do with blackberry or motorola. It IDEN or GSM phones, they do it. Granted via nextel all of them are motorola's but still, its a flaw with GSM/IDEN

Cell phone transmitters have neither the power nor the capability to transmit on that frequency. Typical microwaves have a step-up transformers that runs them at several KV volts and they typical need a few KW of prompt power. Cell phone batteries can't do that. Cell phones antennae also aren't directional.

I can conceivably see a cell phone tower re-rigged to do that.

Turning off bluetooth helps alot.

And Kelraz just tell people to flight mode thier phones or turn em off.

While I'm postive that electronic field being right next to your head isn't a good thing there's no way it has the power to cook popcorn heh.

So it's just bluetooth that makes my speakers and telephone go nuts? I might have to try that.

I don't think its just bluetooth, because I was getting the issues back before bluetooth was mainstream.

And I try to tell them to turn em off, but some people are ASSHOLES and don't listen :)

its not the bluetooth.....see previous post

I get it on my PC speakers from the Nextel of the guy who lives below me. Thats beyond annoying.

I'm pretty sure that the videos are a hoax, but their implication may not be so crazy after all:

NEW DELHI: The studies and survey conducted by Australian Health Research Institute indicates that due to billions of times more in volume electromagnetic radiation emitted by billions of mobile phones, internet, intranet and wireless communication data transmission will make almost one-third of world population (about two billions) patient of ear, eye and brain cancer beside other major body disorders like heart ailments, impotency, migraine, epilepsy.

According to the reports the tissues of children are tender and are likely to be more effected by use of any wireless gadget and devices and they should not be encouraged to use mobile phone.

The fatal and volumetric effects of electromagnetic radiation emitted mainly by mobile phones, mobile phone antenna, tower, mast, transmission tower, microwave oven, wireless devices, system and equipment.

These dangerous effects have been certified and confirmed repeatedly by many leading medical and scientific research institutions of the world including Ministries of health of various governments, W.H.O. and now have been admitted and confirmed by Govt. of India in their recent press releases.
