time to put on the tinfoil hats.

Hah..

"What is even more disturbing is that the darned Apple iPhone didn’t make the top 10. Now that would have been exciting."

Weird that they are calling it "HRE". It's technically called "SAR" for Specific Absorption Rate. All cell phones have a SAR rating by the FCC, which apparently is maxed at 1.66(or something very similar).

I've got a great question for you...
I wonder if you have the intellect to answer.

Before the age of 2, babies in Japan are given (4) that is, four vaccines
compared to the US which gives 22-32 shots...

Do YOU know why?

BTW, your saying "tin fol hats" denotes you are ignorant and cannot refute
information because you're inept.

Please answer...

If not, here Let me google that for you

This might help you

Ha umm....your LMGTFY link doesn't answer the question. Furthermore, I have no idea how you linked supposed radiation from cell phones to infant vaccines, but hey you got me to reply, so I guess you are the smartest this time!

Intellect? How does anything I said refer to my intellect? SAR/HRE is real, it does affect the brain. But it doesn't affect the brain anymore than eating Sweet-n-lo for 20 years which is also rumored to cause cancer. Coincidentally, popcorn is also rumored to cause cancer.

Do you realize that you'd have to have it strapped to your head for decades before you would develope a tumor? And even then, it's only when the device is using the CELLULAR RADIO. While the device isn't on a call, the cellular radio is barely being used, blipped on briefly here and there to deliver data.

Stop spouting your holier-than-thou additude and acting like you are some great diety.


People like you are the same morons that think they can feel the frequency's put off by Wifi, which is indisputably FALSE and made up by people that need attention.

What's next..you can feel the ULF given off by earthquakes?

Meh, I smoke, visit (reaaly loud) concerts and nightclubs, i occasionally drink a lot and like popcorn.

When I get old(er) my Bold is going to be the least of my worries

BTW, nice hat sniff You should patent it and get RIM to bundle a tin foil hat kit with every 8330 and 9000

If I accidently swallow an RFID tag, and my BlackBerry goes off while it's sitting on my hip, will my intestines explode and fly out of my nose?
