26 Jan 2011 - A south Korean man has been arrested for allegedly
cooking his mobile phone in a microwave and then claiming damages from the manufacturer Samsung Electronics. The 28-years old man identified only as Lee is accused of accepting compensation of five million won from the firm after claiming his phone has exploded while being charged. But the National Institute of Scientific Investigation concluded the phone was "artificially modified" because of exposure to electromagnetic waves in a microwave, police said in a statement. Lee staged about 50 one-man protests in front of Samsung HQ and at Incheon International airport before receiving the compensation from the company.
