Phone radiation vs Hard drive… and the winner is… Monday 070115~10:18

Like everyone at the turn of the century, I was worried about what my mobile phone’s radiation was doing to my genes.
So I would routinely take my phone out of my pocket whenever I sat at my desk, and I would diligently put it snugly on top of my computer, in a spot that turned out to be a few millimetres above the hard drive.
The hard drive died one day, and when I took it to a technician, the diagnosis was that mobile phone radiation had “punched holes” through the hard disk, causing it to fail.
I wonder if the new iTouch Mobile (formerly known as the Apple iPhone) will have any problems combining electromagnetic radiation and a hard drive?
Assuming it has a hard drive, and not flash memory, of course.

My brain, sometimes (mostly without my approval) likes to think it’s as efficient and powerful as a hard drive. When it read – analyzed, processed – this page… It was incredibly grateful that I’d rather send text messages!
very interesting….I found this thread having spent the last few months living in a static caravan which is in a field of electromagnetic radiation surrounding a uk army base. I have not only developed electorhypersensitivity, but all of my hard drives have developed problems, and i have often noticed that with peaks of radiation and the accompanying physical pain, my laptop hard drive would skip and re-seek its position.
