 |  Aussie loses job for putting his PDA in a Twisties packet Labour Court decides he knew what he was doing A 60-year-old electrician from Perth was rather cross when his firm handed out PDAs. Tom Colella felt that the device would be used to monitor his location when he was out of the office on work jobs. So he stuck the device in a Twisties packet. Twisties packet are made with a foil that combines aluminium and Mylar plastic, making them electrically conductive and ideal as a temporary electromagnetic shield for mobile devices. Basically they formed a Faraday Cage and blocked the GPS signal. http://fudzilla.com/news/mobile/4510...wisties-packet |
