  • Having fun with cellphone jammers - when ideals are just plain fun

    There’s a certain level of etiquette that’s expected of mobile phone users in public. Keep your phone on vibrate while in quiet environments (movie theaters, libraries, restaurants, etc.). Try to step outside if your conversation is going to take any significant length of time. Keep your voice down to a minimum - we’re talking to all you loud-talkers out there (no one wants to hear your conversation, it’s annoying). Unfortunately, many cellphone users out there are quite oblivious to these societal ideals. So, what’s an idealistic crusader for mobile phone etiquette to do? Get a cellphone jammer . If you find yourself having to teach that loud-talking, teen-aged valley girl a thing or two about minding her manners, just reach in your pocket and activate that wireless jammer. There have been a slew of portable signal jammers of late , and it seems that there’s a reason for it. As wireless signal jammers are becoming more and more accessible, Americans are taking matters of mobile phone ideals into their own hands - literally. But, does your crusade have to be all business and no fun? Absolutely not. It turns out that people love the power that they can wield over the unsuspecting “loud-talker.” Cutting off an annoying cellphone user not only teaches them a lesson, it’s immensely entertaining to watch them try and re-acquire a wireless signal. We’re not condoning such actions. But, should you find yourself needing to unleash your own brand of wireless justice on all those obnoxious mobile phone talkers, make sure you don’t jam an innocent by-stander’s polite conversation. Oh, and br careful about how you do it - wireless carriers pay boat-loads of cash to the government for the right to use their respective wireless frequencies, and they’ll think nary a moment before fining you thousands of dollars per jamming-incident. ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:Rush Hour 3 goes mobileSidekick ID Will...
  • Food as mobile phone straps

    We can’t understand why food is so appealing to manufacturers of mobile phone accessories, but it seems to be par for the course in Asia. These cellphone straps look good enough to eat (which must be why they come with “Do Not Eat” tags), kind of like those sushi (or chocolate) shaped cell phone screen cleaners from Japan - except these mobile phone straps come to us from South Korea. Those crazy Koreans. Hit the link to see the rest of the pics.
