actually i was just kidding... I really do agree that the stupid kids are to blame. But I also do understand why they do it. I almost view the internet as something of a joke most of the time. ANYTHING you have online can potentially be stolen. so with this insecurity it seems like almost like those agreements we never read but always have to accept don't matter either so its okay to just hack into peoples accounts and steal from people because its okay to steal their information they volunteer online, why not the info they don't volunteer?
only after getting caught do they realize that what they were messing with was real peoples money/info as apposed to being fake online. there's just wasn't much of a distinction between them when i was younger. even i did some very illegal things online but i never made the connection that it was wronging real people until MUCH later.
I agree...in fact I'm almost ashamed (no I am) to say that my first major experience with "hacking" was on my friends myspace pages. But it doesn't help that great movies like Hackers make young kids think that they can get with Angelina Jolie if they are just good at hacking. I blame society and the movie industry.
It still seems like it shouldn't be the speaker end of the problem that's blamed. If these speakers are regulated to be cheap with the trade off of allowing some interference i think that these expensive phones should work towards signal transmission that's less prone to interfere. It would be a lot easier to change the transmission style of the phones than to just blame the speakers. I'm not particularly well studied in the field of signals(yet) but to me this seems like a very practical use of resources to stop your phone from interfering like this. I may be ignoring some very obvious reasons why this wouldn't work (standardization of signal types?) but i think the capacity for improvement would lie more on the phone company end.

true, but the plasma ones come in bigger models...
