Watch the Popcorn Pop

This is so cool and somewhat scary at the same time.

It is a lie. Google it. If you really want to see that it truly is a lie do it yourself, and see that it doesn't work. The funny thing is the phones do not directly communicate, they have to go to a tower. By pointing the phones directly at each other like that, the phones do not directly communicate with one another (unless they are in a walkie-talkie type mode).

This is true, verified by your local BlackBerry tech. (me)

Ok maybe you are right can you link to proof. It looks like to me all they are doing is calling the 4 phone with the kernels in the middle which suggest the incoming microwave transmissions nuke them. Of course no explanation is offered and this is simply my interpretation. Lame at best. I will admit I re-watched several times since your comment and noticed some oddities. First you notice different venues..... then different cultures..... but the kicker which leeds me to believe you may be right is there is one phone that doesent quit look like a phone that appears in all the videos. So who knows by my count it would take 8 cell phones in the same room at the same time to test the theroy. If it does work it would be a pretty cool party trick. So invite all your cell phone buddies over for a cocktail and give it a try. What the woorst that can happen.
Cheers.

I think they did a show on Mythbusters or some other Discovery show about that and couldn't even get them to pop with 100 cellular phones. Would be crazy scary if it did put out that kind of rays .. I would be putting my phone on speaker all the time!
