a Chinese technology firm has
released a new wireless router
specially equipped with a setting
for expectant ladies.
Qihoo 360 launched the new
gadget with a configuration tool
which provides three levels of
operation: “wall penetration,”
“balance” and “pregnant women”.
The pregnancy setting is claimed
to reduce radiation emitted by the
internet access device by 70%.
However rival manufacturer
Xiaomi described the “so-called
pregnancy mode” as “just a
marketing tactic.
“Wi-fi usage is safe, so please
rest assured when using it,” the
company posted on social media.
Qihoo ceo Zhou Hongyi said the
new router would be marketed
to “people who are afraid of
radiation”.
Despite the special setting,
the World Health Organization
says based on a recent indepth
review of the scientific
literature, “current evidence
does not confirm the existence
of any health consequences
from exposure to low-level
electromagnetic fields”.
And while we’re on the subject
of pregnancy, a Malaysian clothes
manufacturer has released a new
line of full-length trousers for
women to wear while they are
giving birth.
Targeting beliefs by some
Muslims about modesty and the
unseemliness of uncovered legs
and ankles, the copyrighted and
seemingly extremely comfortable
Mama Pride pants are similar
to tracksuit bottoms but have
“an opening to let the baby out”
while still covering a woman’s legs
during labour.
The Mama Pride website says
the product is also suitable for
those undergoing pap smears.
