10/13   EMF radiation paranoia time! Do you carry active cell phones in your
        pocket? Do you take any steps to keep the phone the recommended
        1.5 cm or whatever from your body? Do you use a "hands-free" ear
        phone thing? If so are you aware of reports that those can act as
        an antenna and transmit significantly more radiation into your head?
        \_ No. Yes. Yes, a regular earphone adapter that transmits sound down
           a wire. Yes, but not as much as a bluetooth handsfree thingie,
           and nowhere near as much as the phone itself.

4/22    Costco is selling "Bluetooth Capable Premium Digital Hearing Aids" for
        $1999.99 a pair.  My Bluetooth cell phone headset is maybe $30 for one
        ear.  Why does hearing aid cost so much?
        \_ Medical insurance?
        \_ Does $2000-your medical deductible = $30?
           \_ How come insurance companies allow such rip-offs?

1/3     What headphones (non-earbud) do you use or recommend for your
        Ipod or other MP3 Player?
        \_ I borrowed my friend's Sennheiser HD500 and could hear sounds
           I've never heard before on many songs. They're quite pricey
           but you'll notice the difference in sound quality.
        \_ I wonder why iPod doesn't have bluetooth. I hate the wires.

12/29   Motd gadget guru, I would like to get a noise cancellation
        headphone for use on airplanes and commutes, should I go with
        something like Sennheiser PCX 250, or Shure E2/3c? The Shure
        is more portable, how well does it work in airplanes? Thanks.
        \_ Related question, are there any noise cancellation headphones
           with volume control? My Dad would be interested in such a

12/30   Looking for a Windows Mobile-based PDA.  I'm mainly going to use
        Excel Mobile on it and keep addresses/phone numbers.  HP iPaq line
        or the Dell Axim line?  Good/bad experiences with either?  Thanks.
        \_ tell us about the real estate market!
        \_ I just upgraded from an iPaq 3835 to an Axim x51v.  The wireless is
           pretty nice with the x51v, but there are tons of problems with the

12/20   I have a Nokia 3220 (the one with rubber lights on the side).
        Since it doesn't have Bluetooth built in, I bought the AD-5B
        Bluetooth adapter which on the web site says is compatible
        with 3220. I also bought a Bluetooth headset. Here is my
        problem, after plugging in my AD-5B into the 3220, I pressed
        the control key and the Bluetooth headset sync button, but
