How did I find this out?

do people have an effect on radio waves? I mean at the mall (work) when no one is in the building, I get 3 or 4 bars; but when the mall is crowded, I lose all bars...

Yeah, those signals get absorbed by water and nearby people can throw off the antenna tuning. I'll bet all the crazy mall gizmos add some problems of their own.

Mall gizmos? oh like the other cell phones, things at the radioshack, and the wifi support.... hmm

Yep, I'm thinking the same thing happens to my radio in our computer lab. I tried AM and FM. Couldn't get squat.

Well, hey, even calcs transmit AM. With all the more electricity computers are using, they must emit much more interference.

What's the link port got to do with fucking up your LCD..?

I thought that the blue effect is caused by overloading the linkport?

No, it's caused by some assembly command putting your lcd(or parts of it) into test mode or something. Even a crashing asm program can cause a blue screen sometimes.

So did anyone try putting the cable in the antenna port?

Can't; my antennas are internal

I tried and got nothing, it maybe because the links too small.

I tried with my new phone (yesssss!) and went from 3 to 4 inside my calculus class.
