wait. i never go to movie theaters anyway, at least none that would do this crap.]]>Mar 1st 2006 8:22PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/
Oh well, who goes to the theater anyways? Waste of money.]]>Mar 1st 2006 8:58PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/
Let me get ahold of some of it, and duplicate something from Saw and Saw II. Now tell me there are more advantages than disadvantages and I'll reconsider.]]>Mar 1st 2006 9:50PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/
They should have shut them down because they had no way of contacting the outside world should someone have come in a blocked all the exists and tried to kill them?

And what if you were in a car without a cellphone and you got car-jacked? They should ban people without cellphoenes from driving. That's almost as dumb as what you just said. *almost*.]]>Mar 1st 2006 11:26PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/
Or IT staff? Or anyone who needs to be able to be contacted?

I'd bet this doesn't roll out as well as everyone thinks it will.]]>Mar 1st 2006 11:57PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/Mar 2nd 2006 3:27AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/Mar 2nd 2006 9:30AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/Mar 2nd 2006 10:33AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/03/01/natural-nano-paint-blocks-cellphone-signals/
If a business uses it they obviously will view it as a positive selling point. Why go to the expense without saying "Look what we did for you." There's little doubt that any business using the paint will have a sign telling you that signals are blocked and by Assumption of Risk the chance of a lawsuit is minimal.

To address the machine gun blocked theater door scenario. (When was the last time this happened by the way?)

1. I doubt the paint would be used anywhere except the actual seating area. It simply wouldn't be necessary to have it other places.

2. If you're being shot at it's hard to call. If you have a gun pointed at you it's unlikely the gun toting lunatic will let you have a moment to turn your phone back on and make the call to 911.

3. It's probably better if theater staff make the call anyway. There are probably a hundred landlines in most theaters and most staff probably have cell phones and they're not often in the seating area.

4. Cellphone 911 calls are a gamble to begin with since they're just as likely to be routed to the wrong place anyway. 50 frantic calls to a half dozen different 911 call centers probably isn't helpful.

I for one am not giving my life to someone else. Just because I saw someone else dialing 911, doesn't maen everyone else shouldn't either. What if that persons cell phone doesn't have a good signal? Battery life? Then you've just wasted precious time depending on someone else.
