Yea jimmy when did that happen i remember havign my sig and then it just disappeared at some point in time and i never thought much of it.

It's just a lil' microwave radiation; and we all have that in our kitchens, don't we?

The worst we get is maybe a small bit of brain tissue resembling bacon... everybody likes bacon!

Bluetooth rules!

Cell phones are a radiation source. So is radio for that matter. Or wireless internet. Or the various other things we use on a daily basis.
And even if there is something to it: considering your age and your other bad habits and your past ... I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Mostly this is food for scam artists.
There is no good evidence that phones or bluetooth devices are a hazard.
My reading of the web site finds technical tomfoolery that gives me pause.

Bluetooth devices are much lower power than phones so bluetooth is "better"
than a phone along side your ear. If you are on the road and talk a lot an over
one ear wired head set is better still (truck driver, salesman on the road).
A bluetooth device in the car itself or on the sun visor is very handy.

The largest risk is the distraction the durn things give drivers.

Read their disclaimer . It pretty much says that they guarantee nothing , and YMMV .

James.

James, I take it that this is not your favorite forum. Where's the pic?


BTW This only works once you have located and removed the tooth that conceals the transmitter.

I have seen some neat vids on youtube concerning people popping popcorn with cell phones, I havent tried it and have no idea how real it is but it does make one wonder.

Now that ain't nice !

That device is total bs.

I wouldn't sweat the couple milliwatts of microwave radiation from a bluetooth headset. Of course, this is coming from someone who was running 1,500 watts of power all weekend talking to folks all around the world.

This is a huge scam. Did you read the whole ad?

How can putting a ceramic button in your POCKET protect your head.

Unless you put a grounded metal shield between the transmitter and your body you aren't going to stop radio waves. How are you going to stay grounded while you are walking around?
