XICC in UFRaw

I just got an email from Udi Fuchs of UFRaw fame. The latest version of UFRaw, 0.13, supports the XICC specification so it can adjust the image for correct display on your monitor. Great, thanks Udi!

The End Of Homeopathy?

Dr Ben Goldacre hits the jackpot, moving from a column on Saturday's Guardian to a cover story in Friday's Guardian. It's a very balanced and reasoned argument against homoeopathy for people who don't understand what a fair trial is, how placebo works, or just how stupid homoeopaths sound when they try and explain it. It's down to permeated nano-particles, apparently.

I recommend reading the article to anyone who thinks that homoeopathy is better than placebo or agrees that homoeopathy has a place in treating AIDS and malaria. Or people like me, who like watching homoeopathy get slapped down. For the medical geeks out there, there is the companion article in the Lancet too.
