France fries cell phones | CNET News.com

Interesting that this is happening in France. Isn't that where everyone smokes in public places. I guess some things are more annoying to some people than other things, or has the smoking situation in France improved. While cell phones are very annoying at least second hand talking won't kill me. :)
