BlackBerry Bold Tops Radiation Ranking 189
geek4 writes with this excerpt from eWeek Europe: "Data from the Environmental Working Group places the BlackBerry Bold 9700 as the mobile device with the highest legal levels of cell phone radiation among popular smartphones. Research In Motion's BlackBerry Bold 9700 scores the highest among popular smartphones for exposing users to the highest legal levels of cell phone radiation, according to the latest 2010 Environmental Working Group ranking. Following the Bold 9700 are the Motorola Droid, the LG Chocolate and Google's HTC Nexus One. The rankings still put the phones well within federal guidelines and rules."

You poor fanboys, your precious toy didn't even make the list. Weak is the signal, weak as the user.

The iTrollerators must be sleeping, wrapped in their cozy reality distortion field. ;)

How else are they going to create the ionization trail all the way to the cell tower?
(A useful fact: if you point your Blackberry Bold at someone near a high voltage source, they will be struck by lighting.)

I hope this doesn't turn into a boron and predictable thread of chemistry puns.
A post like that is like a big Neon sign just asking for it to happen though.

Did you just say that the main reason your water gets hot in the microwave is because it's going around in a circle and not the...ummm.. microwaves? Cause I'm thinking I could lower my energy bill if you're not a complete crackpot. /sarcasm

The apparent contradiction in your statement presents an interesting antimony. Personally I think all the good puns argon, but I've lead the way before, and I will again, although I'm not nearly as good at this as my friend Nick. When he gets going nickel bark them out like he was Rin-Tin-Tin. I do feel like I have one on the tip of my tungsten... Copernicium.

Oh, this kind of thread comes up periodically, compounding the pun-ishment, as though it were an elemental aspect of /.
