Oscium iMSO-104 Turns Your iDevice Into An Oscilloscope

Instead of dropping $1,000+ on a dedicated oscilloscope, a new app/hardware combo from a company called Oscium promises to provide the same functionality via your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad for just $297.99. Not exactly dirt cheap, but the solution appears to be far more affordable and flexible than a standalone unit.
In addition to the company’s free iMSO app, which you can download and try out for free before buying, the iMSO-104 basically consists of a breakout cable that attaches to your idevice’s dock connector and allows you to attach various leads and probes for doing whatever one uses an oscilloscope for. The first batch of iMSO-104s has already sold out apparently, so if you want one you’d better order soon to get in on the second batch which will ship on May 20 now.

Parted Magic 6.0

Patrick Verner has announced the release of Parted Magic 6.0, a specialist live CD designed for disk management and data rescue tasks: "Parted Magic 6.0. If you have experienced booting issues with Parted Magic, this is the version you have been waiting for. The way the kernel is handled has been completely redone. This is the reason for the new major version number. The kernel modules, udev, and firmware have been moved to the initramfs. The nice graphical boot menu that we have been using for years has been removed in favor of a very basic one. Many laptops and notebooks could not start the complex menu. A large number of major and minor bugs have been fixed as well. Updated programs: LVM 2.02.84, util-linux 2.19, Linux kernel 2.6.38.2, udev 165, glibc 2.13, xfsprogs 3.1.4, BusyBox 1.18.4, Memtest86 4.20, NTFS-3G 2011.4.12..."

In the final chapter of this acclaimed horror trilogy, Black Mirror 3:
Final Fear picks up right where the thrilling ending to Black Mirror 2:
Reigning Evil left off.
Only a short time ago, Darren Michaels was a quiet store clerk in a
sleepy New England town. Now in Willow Creek, England, a tormented
Darren barely reacts as police handcuffs are closed on his wrists. All
the evidence points to him, and the police have arrested Darren as
their primary suspect in a fatal crime. He?s subjected to extensive
questioning, but Darren is numb to the events occurring around him, and
has withdrawn into a deep emptiness. Then after several weeks of
incarceration, Darren is unexplainably released.
But he is not free. Darren remains terrorized by sleepless nights,
nightmare-like visions, and the chilling specter of murder and death.
Now alone, Darren must continue his search to uncover what has been
happening to him and lift the veil on his clouded past. What has he
really seen? What do his torturous nightmares really mean? Who is the
mysterious person that posted the bail to set him free? What demons lie
waiting in the crypt?
Return to face the dark forces that haunt the ominous Black Mirror
Castle as you search for the secrets that lie behind the tangled web of
haunting riddles, mysterious secrets and dark characters. Alternate
between two playable characters, as you explore over 120 highly
detailed and atmospheric locations, and interact with over 50
characters in your quest for redemption.

trilogy - for once you gaze into the Black Mirror, you won?t be able to
look away.
