Mobile Phones and Brain Shields

I’ve just learned via Mobile Phones & Brain Shields that my brain is the subject of a patent (emphasis added in bold)

A few weeks ago there were reports in the newspaper that the Ericsson, Nokia and Motorola, the three largest manufacturers of mobile phones had patented brain-shields to protect their consumers from radiations emitted from mobile phones. This created panic among consumers as it meant an indirect acceptance by mobile phone manufacturers that mobile phone devices did in fact have some adverse effect on the users against which they needed protection.

This Dave Shields uses a mobile phone and still has a brain, though the matter is being hotly debated by those folks who read my blog regularly.

But you may want to follow the blog more closely, as my brain may be the subject of further intense investigation due the crucial role it plays in cell phones, a technology that some — including my IBM colleague Sam Ruby — argue rivals the personal computer in its importance, Does cell phone’s impact outweigh PC’s?.

Don’t worry, Sam. I won’t let it get personal. I’ll keep on computing.

I now have more sympathy for those who argue that software patents are bad. But is the patent on my brain for software, hardware, or a business process, or some combination thereof? Is there prior art on my brain? Is my brain a novel invention? Much work remains to be done.

I do hope the patent won’t be challenged, as my brain may not be up to that challenge. If the patent is challened I will seek help from the brain of Eben Moglen, an expert in this area, as noted in The Blackboard Jungle. If this comes to pass, I will pass on the news via a post to be titled, “The Brain Shields Jungle.”

I will do what I can using my Brain Shields (BS) to shield your brain from cellphone radiation. As a first step, I suggest that you stop using cell phones as much as possible and spend the time gained studying my blog. In return, I’m confident you’ll find lots of evidence of BS in forthcoming posts.
