Nintendo DS emits weak RF signal. Intentional? Useful?

Evil Avatar and Gamegirl advance are reporting that some people have received a weak signal on the antennas of their TV's, from their Nintendo DS's.

I think it could be interesting if implemented with a game.... Who knows, maybe it's just design error.

Interesting though...

I think it's possibly related to the systems WiFi Capabilities, because 802.11x uses the RF frequencies... Sometimes my cordless phones lose conection due to my WiFi in my apartment,

I wander if this will also affect certain equipment on planes as well... that would suck... lol

Yeah.... thats the nature of RF, it happens to anything wireless.

In conclusion, who fucking cares.

LOL

Turn on your cell phone, make a call, and hold it up next to a CRT monitor at one of the corners.

Many wireless devices do this sort of thing.

The thread doesn't look like the regular fanboy cry for attention to me so stop getting you panties in a bunch.
