Submission + - Tinfoil Hats Anplify Mind-Control Beams

The Eight-Bit Link writes: Contrary to popular belief, tinfoil hats actually improve mind-control beams, if they operate on standard radio frequencies. A recent study at MIT shows tinfoil hats improve signals at 2.6 Ghz, 1.2 Ghz, and 1.5 Ghz, which are reserved for cellular signals and GPS location.

Submission + - Most Apple users avoiding iOS 6 upgrade (foxnews.com) 2

Velcroman1 writes: More than 100 million users have upgraded to the new iOS 6, the software powering the company’s iGizmos, Apple said last week. But according to analysts at data research firm Strategy Analytics, 173 million iPhone users, 85 million iPad users, and 25 million iPod touch users are eligible for the upgrade — -- 283 million in all. Which means 183 million have said “no thanks.” Consumers may be skipping the upgrade for a range of reasons, explained Ross Rubin, principal analyst with Reticle Research. “They could be in contract for a phone that can't update to iOS 6 or have a model that can't take advantage of some key features and therefore choose to hold off,” he told FoxNews.com. “Or they could have heard of the problems with the Maps application and choose to hold off until it improves.”

I'd also like to point out that I don't believe the iPhone has Gorilla Glass. It has some knockoff. It's rumored they might use actual Gorilla Glass for the iPhone 5. However, if you look at drop tests and such, the iPhone always loses out to phones with actual Gorilla Glass. Furthermore, I have seen no videos of people hammering nails in with an iPhone, whereas we see them for other phones/devices.
