Magnetic fields are all around us, but they're usually invisible. Not when British filmmakers Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt get a hold of them. Their film group, called Semiconductor, created "Magnetic Movie," where they've turned audio recordings of magnetic fields into arty animations. This innovative work won them honors as Best Film at Cutting Edge at the British Animation Awards 2008.
Next, these creative filmmakers might want to scare up everyone with animation of the waves swirling around all of us 24/7 from cell phones, television, power lines, microwaves, radio and the sun. Let's just hope all this stuff doesn't cause cancer. Either way, any more movies like this one, and we'll all feel like wearing tinfoil hats.

I'm really getting tired of sites that talk all about the iPhone's ups and downs and then try to look at a video about the subject and then can't watch it because it not in the h264 format neccessary to be viewed on the iPhone. Jeeze people, if you want to get the users attention you should at least make it so they can see what you're arguing about. I'm getting tired of the bait and switch tactics of the Internet sharks. So much so that maybe its time to have a good old fashioned boycott of the sites guilty of luring iPhone users to there stir only to be let down with the vision of the blue cube. I'm sure an electronic Internet boycott would be a whole lot easier to pull off than the old analog ones were!!!!

maybe in the future… a way of broadcasting power along roads to power electric cars through antennas
nicoli tessla was the first on that thought
