Comment Why masts are a good thing (Score 1) 355

Yeah there seems to be a correlation between tin-foil and conspiracy theories. Anyway - people protesting mobile phone masts use mobile phones themselves, and forgets an obvious problem. Mobile phones increases their output when far away from the mast in order to make a connection. Closer to the mast their output is lower. If you really want to minimize the power of the mind control radiation, you should stand close to the mast, as this will minimize the radiation from the mindcontrol device you are holding close to your brain.

Submission + - Second Life shuts down casinos (theinquirer.net)

Tech.Luver writes: "theinquirer reports, ( http://theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=41240 ) " LINDEN LAB, hallowed creator of the Second Life virtual world, has announced that all in-world casinos and miscellaneous gambling joints are herewith to be shut down. That means that the large chunk of users that enjoyed using in-world casinos and betting Linden Dollars on events both inside and outside the game world will now have nothing left to do. Perhaps more to the point for Linden, the move will cut off the revenues earned from those owning Casino-style islands in the game, the owners of which are some of the top contributors to the Linden coffers through currency fees and land rental.

Submission + - Three flashing red lights cost Microsoft $1bn (ft.com)

An anonymous reader writes: The Financial Times reports that Microsoft will take a charge against profits of more than $1bn as it tries to limit the potential damage to its videogames business from a design flaw in the Xbox 360 games console leading to units to fail. This is the "three flashing red lights" problem.

"Mr Bach denied that the product failures showed Microsoft had launched the console before it was ready, or that they resulted from the company's relative weakness in hardware design."
