Electrical Noise Causing Physiological Stress?
el johnno writes "The Globe and Mail is reporting on possible physiological problems caused by so-called 'dirty electricity.' Poor power quality caused by electrical feedback and harmonics from consumer electronics are cited as a possible cause of various 'physiological stress' problems. While previous research in this area looked for connections between EM fields and cancer, some research is now looking into possible connections to fatigue, headaches, depression, and other symptoms. From the article: 'If electricity were flowing in a constant way, most people's bodies would likely adapt, but with all the interference from modern devices, the resulting fields are too variable for people to get used to.'"
This seems to be more news for nutcases rather than news for nerds.

$2,895 = something like £1,600. The product's bullshit, but my inner 'Elite' veteran just jumped for joy...
* buys a thousand of them at £489 each, ships them back over the sea, and flogs them off at $1400 each, making a tidy profit even after shipping, taxes, duties and currency fluctuations, without having had to do any work at all! *
Real Daleks don't climb stairs - they level the building.
But the noises that many consumer electronics generate definitely increases my stress level. Though it's been a lot better since I stopped using CRTs. Now all I need to do is find a work environment that is free of fluorescent lights.
You burden me with your questions You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about But don't listen to my replies
You say to me I don't talk enough But when I do I'm a fool
These times I've spent, I've realized I'm going to shoot through
And leave you
The things, you say Your purple prose just gives you away
The things, you say
You're unbelievable
You burden me with your problems By telling me more than mine
I'm always so concerned With the way you say
You've always go to stop To think of us being one
Is more than I ever know But this time, I realize
I'm going to shoot through And leave you
The things, you say Your purple prose just gives you away
The things, you say
You're unbelievable
Seemingly lastless, don't mean You can ask us
Pushing down the relative Bringing out your higher self
Think of the fine times Pushing down the better few
Instead of bringing out the clues To what the world and everything anger to
Brace yourself with the grace of ease I know this world ain't what it seems.

The things, you say Your purple prose just gives you away
The things, you say
You're unbelievable
You're so unbelievable You're unbelievable
(You're unbelievable) You're unbelievable
