The Beeb can’t infringe the seller’s ‘uman rights by insinuating its a total scam without someone scientific examining it. If peeps are stupid enough to buy these they shouldn’t be left in charge of a mobile phone, never mind breed.

safe on the "breed" bit. as these things DON'T block radio waves, they will be electromagnetically castrated anyway. Whistle

Its a perfectly reasonable use of the licence fee. The BBC isn't just about tv and radio content, it has a broader remit which this sits very well in. This article and proving the technology is fake is very much in the public interest.

Besides, who else has taken these charlatans on?

Five minutes looking through their site, particularly the independent testing bit, is both funny and scary. Do people believe this rubbish? Presumably they do or the company would fold.

I wonder how the magic dot knows which electromagnetic radiation to block. After all, get that wrong and it would become invisible. Or is light not a harmful EM radiation? Causes cancer in excessive amounts...maybe they're missing a trick here. A dot that blocks sunlight would be great to prevent skin cancer.
