Today manufacturers insist all phones that meet radiation standards are equally safe and that it is pointless to use SAR ratings as a marketing tool. "We constantly strive for designs of antennas and phones that maximize the efficiency of the phones," says Motorola's Sandler. "But there shouldn't be any health implication inferred from any of this...
...Clinton Administration inherited President Bush?s policy of containing Saddam, and did nothing to substantially alter it despite ample evidence that it wasn?t working. Worse still, the administration also engaged in a pointless bombing campaign two years ago when Baghdad refused to comply with the arms inspection regime, and then simply stopped its attacks after four days. By clinging to a collapsing sanctions regime, the Clinton administration has failed to maintain the strategic initiative on Iraq, leaving Washington in a position of having to respond to others' initiatives...
...family, this is what we call a classic. I come from a long line of bad-gift givers (no, Mom, I did not like the Dances with Wolves soundtrack), but even I was impressed by how effortlessly the Steak Lovers' Kit trumped all the other terrible, pointless presents of Christmases past.

...Gregory Roberta Gregory's "Naughty Bits" gets props as the only unabashedly female-centric comic currently in existence. Its complex heroine, Midge, flaunts the conventions of what women are allowed to do in comics and other pop-culture media.

Turning your dial to a pop radio station is like turning back to 1999. The Backstreet Boys' new album rehashes track-for-track the pointless pseudo R&B and insufferable ballads of Millennium (cool drinking game: take a shot every time you can name the Millennium song that inspired a new album cut). Perhaps the only interesting thing about Black and Blue is its odd title (didn't you expect something like Jive-in' with the Homies?). The Boys prefer to leave its meaning ambiguous, perhaps because the label chose the title and they're as befuddled...
