4 people already took a distributor pack @ $900!
I'm pretty sure if you get 2 of those it also comes with a set of tinfoil hats too.  :p

I don't understand. If this sleeve blocks EMR, then wouldn't the laptop's wireless systems be compromised as well?

Referencing unidentified research it says:

Recent research suggests that any EMF exposure above 3 milliGauss may be linked to diseases such as:...

Hmm, quick sanity check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_(unit)

ZOMG!!!!! The Earth causes cancer!!  :-DD

Silly, you misunderstood the purpose of the product. It is not about a well reasoned attempt to make the world better through the application of well understood principles at the nexus of medicine/biology/physics/engineering.

It is about FEARMONGERING in a friendly, clean, and fashionable package.

On the positive side of things, I think they have a really good chance of delivering their product on time. I mean, it's just a leather laptop sleeve.

Okay but presume that this thing "actually worked" though its intentions I'm still not sure of, wouldn't a so called radiation blocker limit the laptops wireless capabilities?

What would they even put in there? A sheet of lead?

No - they specifically say it's not lead

Mu metal perhaps

The screen seems to be intended to go under the laptop - presumably the dangerous radiation only goes down  :-DD

If they truly want to shield the laptop, they must also shield the LCD. In fact, as far as EMI goes, that is one of the largest sources of it. Ever thought about the pixel clock of a modern LCD? 1280 cols x 800 rows x 3 subpixels x 60 frames/sec = 184 MHz. Each data driver (at the top or bottom of the LCD) has to handle that and there are 3,840 of them.

Yeah, but then you wouldn't be able to flog a product that "worked"  :palm:
So best not to mention pesky details like that!

Classic snake oil product that takes a few basic scientific ideas, a few measurements, and extrapolates a supposed needed solution.  :palm:
Throw in the obligatory fear mongering, happy photo of the family, and some quotes from dodgy doctors http://www.emfandhealth.com/Samuel%20Milham.html
And it's a perfectly executed useless product campaign, well done!
I won't use the word scam, because:
a) these people usually really do passionately believe this stuff
b) I think they'll actually deliver a reasonable quality product, and intend to.
c) The measurements are likely real (but they don't actually show what they claim of course, but minor detail  :palm:)

So this one wins the classic snake oil award of the week  :-+

Well, shit... these guys went to the same university that I just graduated from. I checked, and thankfully they aren't EE's.

I'm baffled as to why they plan to offer a N0N-RADIATION BLOCKING version of a product designed with the intent of blocking radiation.

considering it only costs as much as many normal laptop cases and its also reasonably high quality, not to mention aesthetically appealing, I think I understand why people bought them. now the emf stuff is definitely whack and it really won't make a difference whether there is shielding or not in the case, but now that I think of it, having a nice solid piece of metal protecting my laptop actually doesn't seem like that bad of an idea. :) What do you guys think?

I really like that all their advertising material is showing their product with Unibody Macbook Pro's. - Guys, the case is all aluminum, and the only place it radiates is trough the front of the top case with LCD panel and Wifi antennae...

These guys know nothing about EMF...
Sigh...

(Ever so) slightly off-topic, but I got a whole barrel of crazy right here:


I now only accept health related advice from people who affect a middle name of "Avocado".

For extra credit, just consider the balls it must take to simultaneously sell people "Earthing" gear, to remove the nasty voltages, and also gear which intentionally shocks people to make them live longer:
http://www.longevitywarehouse.com/LongevityZapper2-3-p/longevityzapper2.3.htm

Quote from: Crazy ass website
Because the electro-magnetic field of the Earth is so big, when we are connected to the Earth's negatively-charged electricity via grounding, it gradually pushes into us and pushes off of us any other electrical fields, including the Longevity Zapper's field. Therefore, zapping while grounded or using grounding technology is in no way harmful, but will not give you the effects you desire because the Longevity Zapper's electrical output will be neutralized by the Earth itself.
No wai?! Grounding and zapping at the same time doesn't work!?

ZOMG!!!!! The Earth causes cancer!!  :-DD

I thought this too, when looking up basic things when I was curious a year ago. It turns out, it is because of its alternating qualities that causes it to be (possibly) harmful to processes unknown in our bodies.

Electric radiation (volts per square metre) can be blocked by copper, or, er, tin foil, but magnetic (it's electromagnetic after all, right?) cannot.

There are highly permeable materials out there, one was mentioned Mu-Metal, much higher is Metglas whatever that is. From what I recall, the pricing of the sheets of MuMetal (which have to apparently be re-fired or something when they're molded to the desired shape) is not too far-fetched for $70 they're asking. It seems ferrites lay two orders of magnitude smaller in permeability. Not sure what they'd do to fields, or if they are good enough.

I remember joking about making a faraday-cage for both fields once, seemed a little pricy.

Also, I guess wifi is safe as it does not penetrate very far ... so as long as the case is insulative, or , brings your underparts far away from the laptop to prevent direct heat transfer - you'll do okay for wifi or .. heat. Maybe that's the secret?

This guy is genuinely funny throughout. He made me laugh out so hard and long, it was better cardio training than any other physical exercise. Too sad he does not seem to realize that by presenting his sales pitch on a stage he could be making tons more money just by ticket sales alone...

And, yes. I, too, am an electrical creature before i am an chemical creature!  :-DD  :phew:

EDIT: I stand corrected. This guy actually tours internationally. Just not doing the kind of shows i would pay any attention to (nutrition advice shows). Maybe i should go watching one of his shows...
