This is a hoax.

Bummer.  I actually thought it would be kind of neat to be able to pop popcorn with my cell phone. 

Guess I'll have to stick to the microwave  :D

Cell phones

Hey all...I just had to chime in on this as the national cancer society has issued the following warning labels to parents..re cell phones and children....and officially along with I believe the AMA, that cell phones should not be used by children under the age of 16 due to possible cause of brain cancers and other similar growths..ie ANs brain tumors etc.
I am most apologetic as I cannot remember what news this was on, however I found these announcements on several news mediums...such as Yahoo, the local paper...definately remember those two and I think NBC nightly news. So if it is recommended that children not use cell phones due to possible brain tumor links..what is it doing to us?
Anyone feel free to look further into this news..I am sure you can find it just doing a basic search,,sorry, but right now I am very time limited.......curious though isnt it.....

The American Cancer Society has heard about the cell phone issue, of course. Their current view is here:
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/PED/content/PED_1_3X_Cellular_Phones.asp
There are lots of other reports floating around, of course.

The popcorn video was a hoax, admitted to by the company that sponsored it, as a so-called "viral video" advertising gimmick. The company, called Cardo, makes a  Bluetooth headset you can use to keep a cell phone away from your ear.
