Wireless
Some people ask me why, being a software developer, I have cables rather than wireless in my home. Here’s one reason:
“A doctor I know set up a local Wi-Fi network in his house so he and his wife could work on their computers without running network cables all over. When he turned on the transmitter for the Wi-Fi, his wife immediately developed arrhythmia. He is a cardiologist so he knows for sure what it was. He turned off the Wi-Fi and her arrhythmia stopped. This increased ill effect of digital signals is most likely due to the sharp edge of the square wave where the differential of the change of the signal approaches infinity.”

TV Ads Linked to Childhood Obesity
TV is bad for you in so many ways. First it promotes inactivity rather than activity. That is mentally and physically damaging. The more time sitting, the worse your mental and physical health. The rays from the TV do you no good and the messages are often less desirable than you would choose let alone being one piece of the jigsaw puzzle of programmed disinformation and mind control. Now the latest research links junk food ads on TV to childhood obesity.

Creepy app uses Twitter and Flickr data to track anyone on a map
When you post a photo online — especially from a phone with a built-in camera — you’re likely sharing more than the picture itself. The same is true for updates you post on Twitter. Location data is commonly included, and crafty types can do all kinds of creepy things with that information.
How is ElectroShock not at least a Violation of Human Rights if not Outright Torture?
“I lost not only my memories of the time I was subjected to this torture but I was robbed of almost all memories from about 2003, two years before treatment, to 2008, three years after treatment stopped.” Evelyn Scogin, victim of psychiatric electroshock.

How to prevent typos in your copy
According to an article in Customer Service Advantage (5 Oct 2007, p. 4), spell-check fails to catch 7 out of 10 errors.
Therefore, you have to proofread your copy carefully. But that’s difficult to do if you’ve already read the copy multiple times, because your mind skips many words.
Solution: proofread your copy backward.
Why it works: the copy loses all meaning when read backward, forcing you to notice each word more.
