Sorry folks – it was a hoax cooked up by a Bluetooth headset manufacturer called Cardo Systems as an internet marketing scheme. Here is the CNN Report on it: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2008/07/09/carroll.cellphone.popcorn.cnn

And here is the Snopes article on it (Read to the bottom and the explain the videos were a marketing scheme)

Looks like people will have to stick to the microwave for popcorn!
