Oregon Scientific do not make good gadgets.


Oregon Scientific do not make good gadgets. Missing parts when I first got it, the product began failing over time. Apart from failures the controls were poorly labelled, the menu structure was illogical, and simple functionality was missing. So if you like opinions based on samples N=1 then avoid Oregon Scientific products.

More sunspots this morning. Improving my technique using high tech methods like projecting the image into a cardboard box to reduce ambient light washing over the projection. Still using my iPhone to capture the image.

What Filesharing Studies Really Say.

What Filesharing Studies Really Say. Not surprisingly, the business funded studies have exaggerated or unsupported claims. Real studies paint a different picture to what the RIAA and MPAA would like.

"But in accumulation they create a climate of secrecy which means people can't know what's going on in their society."
