The Sound of Silence

Ever been to a restaurant, theatre, or lecture, only to have some jackass’ cell phone ring? Wouldn’t it be nice to have some kind of James-Bond-esque jamming device that could put an end to all that?

Well now you can. An article on Slate.com describes a little gizmo that, for less than US$170, will provide you with a 30-foot bubble of cell phone impregnibility. The thing is even built to look like a regular cell phone, so nobody will know that you’re the one causing the peaceful bliss. They’ll all just think they’re in a so-called “dead-spot.”
