Wi-Fi 'Allergy' Makes Waves

Experiencing prolonged chest pains? Maybe you're allergic to your wireless Internet signal -- or at least that's what a group of citizens in Santa Fe is alleging. New Mexico's KOB-TV reports that the group has complained the city is discriminating against them because they will not ban Wi-Fi from public buildings.

Arthur Firstenberg told the station that he is highly sensitive to certain types of electric fields, including wireless Internet and cell phones. "I get chest pain and it doesn't go away right away," he said. Firstenberg and others say public Wi-Fi is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the city attorney is checking into the situation.

I had downloaded the Facebook app onto my iPhone and it was running great until just recently. Now whenever I tap on "Notifications" the app crashes. I've tried deleting and re-downloading straight to iPhone, deleting and syncing it back from my computer, and resetting the phone. How can I fix this??

I've read the articles and all that say "iPhone was hacked by a teenager" but I don't seem to understand what happened. Can someone be kind enough to explain to me what happened? Thanks!

I was looking at my calendar on my iphone, and I was wondering how far back in the past this thing can go, and how far in the future it can go as well. Anyone want to help me out?

It seems like everything I do online I have an account for. I swear I create a couple every week. It sort of scares me that so many people have my info.

I followed directions form the Adobe site to put it in the Filters folder but is not showing up in CS4. I installed both the 32 and 64 in the correct locations but is not available in either version. Any clues on how to fix this?

I heard you can do it through Yahoo! but I'm not sure how to do anything.

I have Webroot Spy sweeper without anti virus. I have a separate anti virus. Webroot is trying to download a 41,000+ KB download. Does anyone know what this is? Should I let it download or not. I'm not really computer savvy but this seems like a high number and a lot of stuff to download onto my computer. Thanks for the help! : )
