Oh, god, I kill me. GET IT? KILL ME? OK. Bybye.

Note: Run out into the lobby if you have/see someone having a heart attack in a movie theater... or, dont eat choloestoral ladden popcorn.]]>Dec 26th 2006 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/that people PAID to see devices like this wouldn't be thought of. Unfortunately since most people
are generally asshats who dont know the definition of consideration a market for these devices has sprung up. Personally I wouldnt buy or use one of these devices for the sheer reason as I wouldnt want someones death on my conscience because of its use. But seriously if people were more considerate with their cellphone usage, these devices wouldnt even exist. ]]>Dec 26th 2006 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/
Seriously I wonder if this issue is as big of a problem in Europe. Because my money is on Americans with their big ass SUV's [a.k.a prosthetic penis] needing to feel all important by needing their cell on them 24/7. No doubt this occures in other countries as well because a human is a human is a human....still I wonder if it gets to the same level of stupidity.]]>Dec 27th 2006 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/
Don't get caught using this thing, radio jamming is a federal crime.]]>Dec 26th 2006 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/]]>Dec 26th 2006 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/
Was in the theater last week watching Casino Royale. Before the movie started, they have that big commercial about "Please turn off your cell phone. Please no feet on the seatbacks. Please no talking..." etc. etc. Sure enough, probably 30 mins into the movie, some asshat's phone rings during a quiet (dialogue) part of the movie. People need their asses kicked! These jammers would rule!]]>Dec 27th 2006 2:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/Right what if someone is trying to reach you to tell you that a family memeber died, in jail, or stuck in a ditch but you're at the movies with someone jamming your phone ]]>Dec 26th 2006 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/
Obviously this device will be responsible for the fall of humanity in the same way it was responsible for the fall of the Roman empire and the dark ages.]]>Dec 26th 2006 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/Dec 26th 2006 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/Dec 26th 2006 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/What if someone was calling you to tell you of a death?

The only "asshats" are the ones creating a market for these devices. There's a reason such devices are illegal and it's to prevent devices that interfere with the proper use of spectrum, that is to outlaw these kinds of devices specifically.

The difference between the guy that uses a cellphone in a movie theater and the guy who uses a jammer is the cellphone user MAY be inconsiderate, though we don't know the specifics, while the jammer user is undoubtably a selfish prick who feels entitled to do anything that suits his interests.]]>Dec 27th 2006 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/wave-bubble-the-portable-undercover-fm-jammer/

I'm not advocating or condoning such actions (as it makes it more expensive for me, as a consumer), but knowledge is power.

Taken from a Wikipedia page:

"Like most systems that rely on transmission of electromagnetic signals through a hostile medium, EAS sensors can be rendered inoperative by jamming. As the signals from tags are very low-power (their cross-section is small, and the exits are wide), jamming requires little power. Evidently, shoplifters will not feel the need to follow radio transmission regulations, hence crude, easy-to-build transmitters will be adequate for them. An amateur can therefore design and build a jammer for magnetic, magneto-acoustic or radio-frequency systems without special equipment. For instance, a square wave near 58 kHz driving a coil with less than a watt of power will jam magneto-acoustic systems. As for 8.2 MHz radio-frequency systems, since they are sweeping their frequency, building a jammer for them does not require a precise transmission frequency and therefore neither does it require expensive frequency counting equipment, However, due to their high frequency of operation, building a jammer can be difficult for microwave circuits; these systems are therefore less likely to be jammed. Although jamming is easy to perform, it is also easy to detect. A simple firmware upgrade should be adequate for modern DSP-based EAS systems to detect jamming. However, these systems can usually be circumvented by simpler means (shielding, detaching or deactivation). Hence, the incentive for building jammers is low. It is not publicly known whether any jamming counter-measures have been implemented."

But hey, don't shoplift. Theft is one of the main reasons corporations are moving towards RFID tags. RFID inventory tracking is bad for all of us. Don't help it expand.]]>Dec 27th 2006 12:22AM
