that is all i was saying.

your right - the .3 milliwatts might not be enough to cook a 8 pound 
turkey or pop pop-corn, but it is enough to cook single cells...  the 
ones at the surface.

the more power you have the more mass you can heat, or the faster you 
can heat it...

cells have very little mass individually...  you CAN harm cells (of 
which we are all made)... you may not be able to cook your entire head 
with a cell phone/laptop but you certainly can affect a certain number 
of cells nearer to the surface...

if the  microwaves in a microwave oven were PWM to square waves 
(digital) they would cook even more efficiently and faster...  remember 
the waves from your phone and notebook are digital and more efficient 
than sinusoidal analogue waves...  similar to a digital audio amplifier 
being able to create more volume, more cleanly,  with less power (90% 
efficiency compared to analogue amps at like maybe 70% or less)... and 
if the frequencies of the signal are in resonance w/ ANY component of 
the cells the damage will be even more possible.
