It doesn't have to heat you up to cause chromosome damage. Don't call people scaremongers because they are researching a valid scientific theory. Those people could equally call all you nayasayers flat earth belevers or maybe ostriches with a 'it'll be right' attitude.
I'll sign off now and unplug my laptop, what an INCONVENIENCE!!!

Maybe we could all buy the kids those silver lined shorts and the little ones could walk around with shorts on their heads.

Isn't it wonderful to have Panorama editors with their media studies degrees explaining science to you?]]>May 21st 2007 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/

I work in a College and I had 3 people ask me if it was safe to use WiFi on their laptops today. It's the same sort of crap they put out like a cell phones can blow up a petrol station or take a hospital offline.]]>May 21st 2007 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/May 21st 2007 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/
Good thing too because I was just completing the rollout of an exciting new line of wireless router underpants!

Not drafty, DRAFT N!

Fellows, heat up your balls and it'll be like the movie "Children of Men" in a few years' time.]]>May 21st 2007 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/
Personally I am not against wireless technology (though I am still old school pro-Ethernet), even if a very very small minority might be affected by it.

I am sitting on the fence on this, at least until more proper research is done. Until then I will take the risk.]]>May 21st 2007 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/May 21st 2007 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/
First of all if you understand the Electromagnetic spectrum, you'd know we are BATHED in radiation of all frequencies during every moment of every day.

Everything from FM/AM to sound is a form of radiation.

The only possible danger I could think of is that having radio radiation close to you could possibly ionize some of your microscopic particles but...then again, we are all gonna die eventualy, why worry about some radio signals?]]>May 22nd 2007 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/
They measured the cell phone tower radiation from 100m away, but measured the wifi radiation from 1m away.

So, total fearmongering crap, basically.]]>May 21st 2007 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/May 21st 2007 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/May 22nd 2007 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/May 21st 2007 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/
If this was a Channel 5 programme, it would have been ignored, but it's been trailed as "news" by the BBC for the last week, and so the papers have picked up the story word for word, without any investigation.

Ironically the BBC website has a discussion, where it quotes the other arguments.
Fortunately, we’re too lazy to chuck our wifi routers out and lay Cat-5, so this will go away soon enough.]]>May 22nd 2007 5:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/
He even admitted he was changing the scale on the program, but to a layman they wouldn't have picked that up and it fitted with the BBCs bias so they didn't mention it.

BBC always jumps on the scare bandwagon. Wifi is scary? I sleep less than 3m from a router and my brain is perfectly cheesey I mean cognitive.]]>May 22nd 2007 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/21/wifi-is-is-not-dangerous-bbc-edition/This programme is Bad Science.
