I bet she is going to be pissed when she finds out there is in fact radio transmissions there... quite a bit of them in fact. The ones that are banned are the ones from outsiders. They transmit thier own radio signals that are accounted for in the science, as are the goverenment radio signals. There is in fact more electro-magnetic radiation in that area than in a city. Its a true lack of understanding of anything in reality that makes these people do these things. After all... light is also electromagnetic radiation, and there is radio waves coming from the sun and stars but she doesnt mention anything about having problems in the sun or looking at the stars. Crackpot ignorant people.

You can buy over the counter hearing aids that are just as good for about $150. Consumer Reports reported that they are just as good.. generally things cost a lot because insurance companies increase the benefits for that item... so they charge everyone that price. This is not just hearing aids. This is every medical device or procedure. The more the insurance comanies are willing to pay.. the higher the average price goes. Also... if you dont use your insurance.. they will generaly give you a break, as well as if you decline the "free extras" that come with them that have increased prices by about 16%, such as free gas cards etc...

just because apple releases something to the public first.. does not mean they inovated it. These designs were in prototypes from samsung and motorola 2 years before apple even had a concept of a tablet/smartphone. However since they released it to the public 2 months earlier they think they are gods.

Japan is overcrowded and people crave ways to NOT be social. This is why the sony walkman became such a hit there when it first came out. They finaly could be on a train and be in thier own world while packed in like sardines. Now they can hook up a portable media player and block everything out so the train ride feels like they are on an ocean cruise!! =]

beauty of the postal service is you CAN NOT opt out of junk mail. They must deliver every thing sent to you. Its the law. Many times hackers have signed up people to thousands of catalogs etc and flodded people with mailbag upon mailbag of mail and the people couldnt get the post office to stop it.
