Like the hugest internet phenom (maybe its old I just got note of it today from a friend)

I still haven't heard a real logical debate on whether its an actual hoax or not.

Of course its a hoax. Think about what the much energy would do to your brain. Also think about how much battery power it would take to create that amount of energy.

You can unlock your car door with a cell phone if someone else on the other end has an electronic lock/unlock. Blew my friggin mind when i tried it. Cooking stuff is a bit far fetched.

/\ Thats really cool, never even thought of it.

I thought about the amount of energy thing, unless the chinese have some special cellphone technology that we don't.
I also saw someone light a match with a green pen laser pointer and that runs off less energy than a phone, so I don't know.

Well I sure did, even a few of years earlier than that. It was a massive pain in the ass to use and connect to and there was no porn !!!!!!!

That doesn't work. Someone fooled you. Car remotes work at 300MHz and cell phones work at 700+MHZ. There isn't a way to transfer a non-sound single through a cell.

Also, car remotes transfer a radio signal while cell phones transfer sound energy. Basically, it just isn't going to happen.

Given i tested this myself on two different cars im pretty sure it does work. Dont be an ass, try it and tell me it doesnt work.

Tell me about it! I remember in '94 and '95 when it was in its infancy. You were lucky if Hotmail loaded in under 5 minutes!!

Not really being an ass it's just not true. Sorry if I came off as one. You were probably standing within range of the car still.

If it really works for you I guess the more power to you. I know I don't have a cell phone that can take in a radio signal as sound then transfer it back out as radio. That would be a miracle!

It does work. Now I have to second guess myself and retry it again. Everyone else try it and let us know if it worked or not.
