People in their 90s are getting smarter

Today's 90 year olds are smarter than their counterparts 10 years ago.

In the light of all the bad news about increasing incidence of Alzheimer's, this is good to see.

At first sight it is tempting to assume that this is just the outcome of a general improvement in health resulting from improvements in nutrition & health care. However, the study showed no difference in physical health between the two groups studied.

Lightscoop Deluxe for DSLR cameras review

Credit: Janet Cloninger/ The Gadgeteer

Lightscoop?

A problem with the built in flash on cameras, even expensive ones, is that it produces very harsh illumination & the dreaded red-eye. Lightscoop is a reflector which fits in front of the built in flash & bounces the light off the ceiling or wall, giving a much more even, softer light & completely eliminating red-eye.

Does it work? Compare the image above with the results you get from the flash on your camera.
