Cell Phone Manufacturers acknowledge risk

Lisa writes " Cell phone manufacturers have admitted that cell phones pose a health threat. Usage has been linked to brain tumors, damage to immune systems and memory loss. This is really scary..." Update!: Just Testing sent us a link to a " (sadly degraded) image from a movie (he) produced using matlab. It shows the electric field from a mobile phone propagating through a simulated human head. The antenna is on the right. You can see the amplitude of the waves decreasing in the direction of propagation as energy is dissipated in the brain tissue." In related news, the new Iridium satellite phone service will badly affect radio-astronomy everywhere in the world.
