I'll give a tip to the technology *ahem* snake oil editor, the promotional shot shows the scamsticker(tm) on the iPhone 4 not on the external antenna (the metal band around the phone), but on the bloody back of the phone. Stupid fucking scam. How could Channel Nine put this bullshit to air, when everyone knows its bullshit and will just stop watching when they realise they've been advertised to.
Save your money - Qlink, Biopro, etc, It is pure fraud, and not even remotely scientific. If you want a less expensive placebo just hang a teabag around your neck, it is cheaper, and at least you can make a brew out of it later. Pyramid schemes never work - unless your the thief at the top, then the suckers support you.
What are you rambling about? Can anybody please point out where he is even spruiking the product (hint: He's not). Lisa is asking him about it, and he is telling her. Not once has he even said it was a good product. In fact, he said he was skeptical of it. Geez, get over yourselves you bunch of self-righteous wannabes...
This clearly well-qualified 'technology editor' (at what institution of higher education does one take a degree in technology editing?) needs to work out the difference between ionising and non-ionising radiation. He also needs to learn what a Faraday cage is and why plastic stickers or coils of copper wire are not Faraday cages.
Looks like a 5 cent piece... worth about 5 cents too. "transform the radiation coming into the phone.. into something that is more in tune with your body's natural frequencies" is a gigantic load of pseudoscientific bollix. Zero theoretical plausibility and biophysical basis. Ask these guys for their evidence of efficacy, clinical trails, peer reviewed research; they cannot provide it. A scam based on scaremongering. AVOID.
He gives the whole baseless marketing spiel with complete credulity, then right at the end talks about scepticism and having to try it first. What exactly will trying it achieve when you've got nothing to measure?
His phone gets warm and makes his head perspire after a couple of hours of use? Yes, body heat will tend to do that...
@mattyvau Another factor is power dissipation in the phone's electronics, notably the RF power amplifier. However, no sane person has yet implicated small amounts of thermal energy in any sort of health issue, certainly not brain cancer.
Trying it first will achieve a sale. That's the EXACT same line power band salespeople use CONSTANTLY, as well as purveyors of other woo, snakeoil, and alternative medicine.
More than 50% of people never bother trying to get refunds when something doesn't work, they just accept their losses and move on. This means the snakeoil salesman will still get the money.
@Bunchofwhiners The marketing spiel is the uncritical use of science *sounding* buzzwords, as mentioned by other commenters. He presented the frequencies etc. as fact, not as claims by the manufacturer. He really didn't do his homework, and as such it came across as an endorsement of its efficacy.
This guy knows nothing about the q-link and sucks at talking about it.

It's painful to watch. Especially when it gets to the end and he half-heartedly admits that doesn't buy the spiel he's just recited.

No, it's a very scientific SOUNDING idea. It's bunk. A $50 waste.

They pull this scam out every few years with different variations to rip off poor unsuspecting people.

@Narbethong At least when you buy snake oil, you can get rid of those annoying squeaks in your snakes.

Yeah, because the average Today Show viewer really wants to know about ionising and non-ionising and a Faraday cage (rolls eyes)...

@mattyvau Discharging a battery will make it get warm. That's all that's happening... and this esteemed technology writer can't work that out. Idiot.

That is untrue. Note he says "They say". Not what he says. He mentions the word skeptical at the end. You do know the definition of the word right?
