phone

Okay, this is cracking me up. This is supposed to block radiation? Since it covers the back of the phone and not the front (the part against the girls face), it seems more like it is going to reflect the radiation back through the phone into her face. Disclaimer, there has been no conclusive...

I tried to call a local Post Office to see if they were holding a package for me -- found out their phone number is not in the phone book. Called information -- couldn't get it that way either. Is this the norm? Don't they have a phone?

I saw my sister recently, as we are all together for the holidays. She has a new cell phone (I believe an LG) and when it rang, I noticed something. It sounds really good. Loud and ... good. Not too tinny or cut-off. It has two stereo speakers on it, each smaller than a penny (like maybe...

I'm looking to set up some VoIP stuff, and had high hopes for something like this, since it allows you to use your existing phone to make and receive calls. However, it appears that you need to physically connect your phone line to it. This isn't very convenient, since my phone socket is in a...

Source. What a brilliant idea! Big Brother, anyone?

From another thread, which got me wondering... Two things I'm thinking about: There are predictions that in a relatively few years, the landline telephone will be extinct, or nearly so, as everyone will have a cell phone; I know a lot of people - Mrs. BPSCG, my mother, Mrs. BPSCG's mother...

I just received my new telephone number and the last three digits are "666". I guess the chances of the Pope calling me have just gone from slim to none.

I can't post an url, so just search for 'Lagovski Moiseynko egg'. I saw something like this before. I can think of a few differences between an egg and a human head though. Size, different skull/shell thickness, circulation inside the head etc. Anyone tried to duplicate this? Also, does...

I'm looking to buy a cell phone wich 1) weighs below 100gr, preferably below 90g, 2) has a long-lasting battery (compared to the other modern cell-phones) and 3) has a video-camera. So far so good, only I want some other capabilities that I can't usually check them on most phone specifications...

What is the value of a little antenna in a cell phone? The cell phone I have now has a retractable antenna that can come up about an inch. I never use it because it doesn't seem to make any difference in reception. I've been looking for a new cell phone. One that I like has a cone on one side...

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/localnews/content/local_news/epaper/2006/04/25/0425copperfield.html Of those of you who know how to do this simple pulling-out-the-pockets trick, how many are willing to admit that they've fantasized about using it in just this sort of situation? Or am I just a sad...

Anyone able to give a simplified explanation of what happens to a cell phone text message from the moment it is sent to the moment it appears on the receiver's screen? Also, if an employee of a cell phone carrier wanted to, could they read what messages were being sent, received, and waiting...

And 1 out of 100 has more than one... According to the newest numbers from the Danish National IT and Telecom Agency, there are now 5.469 million cell phone subscriptions in Denmark. That's 101 per 100 citizens. Source (in Danish) That's pretty darn impressive!

Some of the latest cell phones - such as the Motorola SLVR L7 - are appealling enough to entice me to dump my 3 yr old cell phone. However, it seems that the lastest crop of "cool" phones only are available with built-in cameras and - of course - my employer forbids camera phones. I guess that...

I've just had a circular from the local branch of the party of my local MP, who is apparently campaigning against phone masts. Slap bang in the middle of the constituency is a bloody great TV transmitter which has been broadcasting to a large area since the 1930s. This made me wonder: when...

Last night, my wife and I were mere moments from buying her a new PDA/cell phone combo when we had enough presence of mind to ask a question that brought out that there was a $40+ charge in order to use the phone's built in wi-fi antenna to use the internet at a wi-fi hotspot. Let me say that...

Yo might need to be a bit more precise. After all: "UFO" simply means "unidentified flying object". If it's unidentified, and its in the sky, then by definition its a ufo. The real problem is demonstrating that there is a causal connection between My Leahy's efforts and the appearance of...

From The Daily Telegraph today. Oh Roger, where are you ?

I'm not sure where to post this, but I ran across this group. Just when I think I need something resembling a life... Now I know why we have motorcycle helmet and seat belt laws.

First mobile phone virus discovered

Anyone got references on these...not the boiler room types...the individuals that go for $100-150/hr. Are they script based? guessing probable things? Glean and regurgitate information? Tell people generalities that they want to hear? What's your take?

Hi all, In Britain currently we have a big, organised campaign of NIMBY-ists ("Not In My Back Yard") who are muttering 'Think For The Children' whenever the subject of mobile phone masks are brought up. They seem very dogmatic about the fact (they claim) that their is a strong possibility of...

Phone Ignites Gas Station Fire

Ok, so cell phones still do not cause cancer. However a small survey of mine indicates that everyone experiences excessive sweating and a sensation of heat in the ear when talking for a long time. I tried Googling for the cause of this, but came up with nothing except warnings about cell...

I've seen these "cell phone antenna boosters" for sale. They are essentially a clear piece of plastic with a disconnected pattern of what appears to be conductor (film copper?) that's placed between the battery and the phone "as close to the antenna" as possible. I can't think of any way this...

Maybe you have seen this already, but it was new to me. Emily Yoffe, aka "The Human Guine Pig", is taking some less than desireable jobs or activities and writing about them. In this link, she gets a job as a phone psychic. She tried a day as a mime (no training), took a visit to a plastic...

Everyone keeps talking about the phone logs. "Let's see what the phone logs say - how many phone calls were made to Robert Novak in July" or "did Wesley Clark call Karl Rove - check the phone logs!" I can see incoming phone calls being logged, so maybe you can check out the Clark call...
