I forgot to link to this page [2] detailing the inner workings of some
questionable devices I mentioned on Saturday [3]. I got so sidetracked on the
audiophile scams that I totally neglected the whole long range location
devices.
What's neat about that site is it goes into quite a bit of detail of just how
shady these things are, and how they work (or rather, don't).
It's just amazing that people fall for this type of stuff.
