Wi-Fi Illness Claim Doesn't Impress New Mexico Court

Posted by timothy on Thursday September 20, 2012 @02:24AM from the show-me-the-blind-test dept.

McGruber writes "Arthur Firstenberg, the Santa Fe, New Mexico man who sued his neighbors, claiming their Wi-Fi made him sick, has lost what might have been his final round in court. According to the Santa Fe New Mexican, state District Judge Sarah Singleton ruled that no scientific study has yet proved that electromagnetic stimulus adversely impacts personal health. While he lost the lawsuit, he did score a victory: the neighbors he sued have moved out of Santa Fe."

A corporation is like a tree full of monkeys - when those at the top look down they see a tree full of smiling faces, but when those at the bottom look up all they see is a bunch of assholes.

Re:Headaches from cellular telephones: are they re by EmagGeek · 2012-09-20 04:26 · Score: 4, Funny

I can see how government bureaucrats can incorrectly attribute headaches to cell phones.
The headaches are caused not by the cell phone, but the person on the other side.
