I don't get your argument. Are you saying people shouldn't even try to cut down on things where they can? All or nothing, huh? Good policy.

What he's trying to say is if your going to have something like red bull, have proper red bull.

the diet stuff may be sugar free, but sweeteners aren't exactly healthy either, and have been linked with causing cancers]]>Jun 25th 2008 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/Jun 25th 2008 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/Jun 25th 2008 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/Jun 25th 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/

amazing what you find when you type stuff into google.

But the amount of calories the sugar in redbull has, would have little effect on your body compared to the rest of the ingredients imo]]>Jun 25th 2008 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/

Not to mention the fact that your body compensates for the calories you don't' get. Sugar is by far the better alternative, brown sugar preferably. But really both are highly refined product you'd do best avoiding in most meals or drinks anyway.

Of course the real insight comes from eating foods that are less processed to start with, as your forefathers and their forefathers did. The stuff that you evolved on, like wholegrain bread, whole wheat pasta, and plenty of fruit and vegetables.

aluminium foil would work too, I bet.]]>Jun 26th 2008 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/
My point is that whoever is using this device is probably not concerned about any of the things the meda seems to enjoy blaming cancer for - since phones have been top of the list for quite some time in terms of causing cancer.

As for dieting, I know nutritionists who say that there is nothing "bad" for you. So quit whining and just take everything in moderation.]]>Jun 26th 2008 5:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/
Yes, because our quality of life, and life expectancy has been on the decline ever since...

On top of that even IF the speakers are shielded the AMPs are NOT. Which is how the Buzzing gets... well... amplified!]]>Jun 25th 2008 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/Jun 25th 2008 8:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/

But lets avoid the cancer discussion, as this sort of buzzing behavior is completely normal with any GSM (and some CDMA) phones.]]>Jun 25th 2008 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/Jun 25th 2008 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/
TDMA is multiplexed in 4615 us frames, for a frequency of 217 Hz. That's the frequency at which RF transmission is switched on and off.

Your antenna wants to resonate at the RF carrier; resonating at the multiplex frequency does no good. Resonating at 217 Hz would also require an antenna on the order of 100 miles long... ]]>Jun 25th 2008 8:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/Jun 25th 2008 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/

The can should work just fine, and result in only a very moderate decrease in signal, especially in urban and suburban settings where you've got multiple towers around you.

Or you could wrap your speaker's amp housing in similar material. ]]>Jun 25th 2008 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/

Just because you spend too much time on the internet reading engadget articles about nonsense solutions to petty problems doesn't mean -everybody- does.

It is highly likely that ~90% [speculative figure, I would look up the actual statistics but I can't be bothered] of the userbase of engadget are in a mid-term relationship with a member of the opposite sex. Do not assume that your personal experience gives you social observation skills.

Anyway, to the original comment - yes, almost all cells do it because they all work in a similar way (if they didn't, you wouldn't be able to call each other on them). Surrounding in a rudimentary Faraday cage should work for any device that is causing problems. Note that totally surrounding the device will interrupt signal reception, so the kind of cage that is pictured would be ideal (red bull can).]]>Jun 26th 2008 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/

Of course the best solution will be an iPhone 3G, since UTMS doesn't seem to have the same problem at all*!

I'm guessing that this shield will work only if the line from the connector stays behind the shield... if it wraps around the front (no shield), then the noise may get induced again.]]>Jun 25th 2008 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/Jun 25th 2008 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/Jun 25th 2008 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/Jun 25th 2008 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/iphone-anti-interference-shield-puts-an-end-to-buzzing-speakers/
