3G Waves Causes Headaches, Sharpens Memory
jonknee writes "MobileTracker noted that an interesting study on 3G cellular networks has been released out of Amsterdam. The findings were that exposure to 3G waves can cause headaches and nausea (conventional cellular service doesn't have these effects). It also found that those same subjects had better memory and reaction times (conventional cellular networks have the same effect)!"
With all that weed smoked in Amsterdam, they can do with all the brain sharpening they can get!
:-)
Maybe this will balance them out a bit
Next time I have to take a test, I'll carry an old motorola briefcase phone with me and Make sure it is sending and recieving.
Food not Bombs is a nice platitude but it breaks down when you notice that the Bombees are usually well fed
Are they sure it's not the hash?

Considering my failure to achieve first post, the nearest 3G transmitter must be miles away.

Screw studying for that test, I'm going to talk to my friends on my cell phone all night!

Now if I could only remember I left my cell phone...
Trolling is a art,
It looks like the idea that using a cell phone is detrimental to driving performance is faulty. Since Reaction times are dramatically improved, I expect that within a few years you will be required to use a cell phone while driving.

GENIUS!
Obviously the writer of this article has never dealt with Verizon (or many other telecomm companies).

Is yet another symptom of "3g" the munchies?
Hmmm, that's interesting, one would thing the residual IRQ going over the PCI would cancel out the WTF that allows people to RTFM, that being the primary cause of people wondering what the heck others just said.

Sounds like the movie Phenomenon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117333/) to me... great powers and whatnot, but then you only get laid once and die of a brain tumor... no thanks.
Let's see...
The study, the first of its kind, tested the impact of radiation from base stations used for the current mobile telephone network...
That's exactly what I do everyday...I hang around cell phone towers everyday to sharpen my memory and response times!
Riiiigghht
Yes, you see, it is true the brain is like a herd of buffalo.
You see, a herd of buffalo can only move as fast as its slowest members. When those members are killed the entire herd moves faster. So when (alcohol, 3G RF, other substances) kill off the slower brain cells the entire brain operates more efficiently!
Speaking realistically, however, I occasionally have the opportunity to visit a building roof mounted cell site and when I do I always come away with a very dull headache. This is an 800 MHz primarily but there is some 1900 MHz there too.
You all laughed at me and my tinfoil beanie, but who's laughing now? Eh? Eh?
If I seem short sighted, it is because I stand on the shoulders of midgets
Have they done tests to see what other extra benefits they may have? Maybe I can disregard all of that penis enlargement spam.
It also sharpens my memory... I remember why I broke up with them!
There's a growing sense that even if The Future comes,
most of us won't be able to afford it.

However, cognitive functions such as memory and response times were boosted by both 3G signals and the current ones, the study found.
... check. ... check ... check .. uhh ... check"
Well fair enough then. That might be true, but I do wonder how and why they decided to test that.
"Nausea, headaches, loss of appetite
Abandonment of self-awareness and general consideration in public places
Ability to memorise deck of cards

I'm getting a nice tan and I know the theories behind it! Wow - did you guys know that you can look at the sun and get the same effect? I have also discovered that my reaction time to getting modded down has been reduced to mere minutes!
This is truly a golden age, and not some wireless corporation's self-serving sponsored study. Say that 10 times fast - I can!
I can fly too - you guys gotta try this!!
I've been using a cell phone for the last few years and I don't feel dain bramaged at all.
Not everyone on slashdot may know what the TNO and TUV is. To clarify it is the Dutch and German equivalent to the Swedish SIS.
I disagree here.
My strategy has always been to use large quantities of alcohol to put a survival of the fittest in my brain.
The more you drink, the better this idea gets.
It does not help you do well in exams - dont listen!
