There are two issues you probably have to worry about.
One band of harmful EM radiation is the ionizing radiation, high energy photons that are X-rays and gamma rays. Naturally, 802.11n won't be these.
UV rays are harmful at high enough intensities. Microwaves, which cause water molecules to resonate and therefore heat up, are around the 2 GHz frequency of 802.11.
However, you must remember that the effects rely entirely on the power output. If our wireless transmitters had a power output of 3000 W like our microwave ovens, then yes we should be worried. However, the tiny milliwatt outputs aren't an issue.
There have been worries that low frequency (radio wave) RF can induce microamp currents in cells, killing them, but this theory is unsubstantiated.
We have these nifty fucking things called ELECTRIC LIGHTS now. You can use them to, like, see when it's dark. It's really fucking amazing.
We have this nifty concept called "conservativism," or not wasting electricity, money, and natural resources now. That's the point behind DST: using less electricity and benefitting because of it.
This is just another "fit a PC in a mac" mod. It has nothing to do with Apple's decision to move to Intel chips, nor is it a particularly inventive thing to do.
And, ooh, he put an LED in the case. That's *classy*.

Nah, Jobs' actually works.

Did you not even look at #2 in the definition?
I believe the article was about time wasted... at work.
I find this story deeply ironic. Only two hours until I can leave this place...
