Fail: Defect reportedly causing NYC car registration stickers to unstick (Autoblog)

Oct 15th 2009 10:30PM Scotch tape here as well.

Just wait. I'll hazard a guess that NYS will add a surcharge to registration fees for adhesive for the stickers.

Think I'm kidding? New York drivers should remember a few years ago they added a "reflectorization" surcharge to registration fees for the newly issued license plates that the DMV forced upon us!

>> "The DMV has been working with the vendors of both products to identify the deficiencies and receive an appropriate restitution."

How Much Radiation Does Your Your Phone Emit? (Switched)

Sep 12th 2009 6:47PM Anthony: The type of radiation emitted from cellular telephones is electromagnetic. Another soures of this em radiation are radars used by aircraft, law enforcement, microwave relays, microwave ovens, living under power lines, computer monitors, televisions... etc. etc.. The hullabaloo may be centered on cell phones, but there are a lot more devices in everyday use that email em radiation.

But unfortunately, most "news" coverage covering this "cell phone radiation" fails to differentiate between em radiation and radiation emitted from isotopic elements (uranium, radon, americium, etc). While em radiation like all others must be limited, sensationalism leads the un-informed to believe we'll be growing an extra head on our shoulders.
