Agreed Apple will get their legal teams and 'political acquaintances' to fight this as stats made public will show the iphone in a very bad light again.

We can all just wear tin foil hats.

It doesn't your money and time but government's.

could you make this statement make more sense?
Thank you

I think dl20155 was trying to say it isn't your money and time, its the government's.

Time is money, so its just a matter of money.

Of course, dl20155 would be flat out wrong since by definition the government's money is our money. The goverment has its sanction from the people and its money from the people, and the 100% obligation to not waste either where the people do not wish it.

Sadly people like you draw breath. Yes it is my money and time. It is our tax dollars that they are spending. The government of the USA is suppose to be "for the people, by the people" The people in office are "suppose" to be a voice of the people. They are "suppose" to listen to what their districts are saying and vote accordingly. So, like I said, it is a waste of money and time. Even thou you and the 8 others do not agree with me.

A couple things.

All eletromagnetic energy are radiation of some sort. So radio, microwaves, visible light, etc are all type s of radiation. There are also two types of radiation - ionizing and non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation like x-rays can cause cancer. Non-ionizing radiation doesn't. Also, once you get into UV and above, the higher the frequency, the more dangerous it can be (i.e. X-rays are considered to be more dangerous than UV rays).

One of my physics professors laughed at the notion that these were dangerous. He stated that the average person puts out enough infrared energy to power a 900W infrared light bulb constantly. It's ridiculous to be worried about a

A person can emit infrared energy? also to power a light bulb...
lol you mad electric companies lol

Ill have to read up on that sounds very interesting superguy!

ummm, yes people do emit infared energy. In fact, you don't have to do anything to do it too! just sit on your butt and you emit it. Infared imagery shows contrast in heat being emitted by an object or living being.

Almost any physics professor would laugh at the idea that cell radiation could harm you - non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation can't cause cancer, period.

It's conceivable that the heat emitted could have some effect, but this is true for any device that gives off heat.

I have family that lives in japan and quite frankly i find this offensive
Thank you for being more considerate and less indifferent.
