Why would anyone want a mat that does nothing but charge phones? It’s dumb, ugly and takes up space. But an alarm clock that you just set your phone down on to charge it? Yes please. More »
Unlike the GoPro Hero 2 which needs a housing to protect it from the elements, Oregon Scientific’s ATC Mini is waterproof right out of the box. Ready to capture your extreme underwater exploits to a depth of 20m, though at a disappointing 720p. More »
Oregon Scientific are releasing a weather station studded with Swarovksi crystals. Yes, a weather station. Am I the only person who feels like their head wants to explode just so it doesn’t have to think about that unlikely combination any more? More »
Don’t think for a second that our portly appearance and lazy demeanor means that we’re not hardcore. When we do stumble outside, it’s with one of these Oregon Scientific ATC5K rugged helmet cams attached to our heads, now that they’re available in Australia, and if that doesn’t make us hardcore, we don’t know what does… More »

We’re not really that extreme. Wait…we’re on the internet and can be whoever we want to be…
When it comes to forecasting the weather, I often think that sticking a moistened finger into the air is about as accurate as all of that fancy doppler radar. However, there is no shortage of weather addicts out there that religiously check the news and treat weathermen like they were friggin’ prophets. It appears that Oregon Scientific has developed a weather forecasting watch made specifically for these types of people.
Here’s Oregon Scientific’s next trick with atomic alarm clocks that tell you the old in/out temperature and forecast, and this one has a motion sensor that reacts to your presence. When you’re viewing the Oregon Scientific Weather In Motion from a distance, it tells you the day of the week and the time in big numerals, with an icon showing you its interpretation of the weather forecast. Move a little closer, and it helpfully gives you more info about the inside and outside temperature (gathered from a wireless module), moving the time data to a smaller size. If you’d rather not feel like you’re under surveillance by a goddamn clock, set it to dissolve between one display and the other every five seconds. Neat stuff for 50 bucks.
