Brightstar Article
The Marin Independent Journal (Marin County, CA) has run an good, balanced article on Brightstar. Interestingly, Dr Sam Savage, who’s statistics are quoted in the Brightstar US website and were highlighted here a couple of days ago (Brightstar USA) appears to have been a user and now a supporter of Brightstar. Whether he has been paid by Brightstar for his statistical analysis is still not revealed.

Comments on: Brightstar Article
When first I looked at the Brightstar stuff, the site overstated Dr. Savage’s connection to Stanford. I believe he was compensated for the study (it was not an independent study). Also, the way the data are presented is odd — not standard practice.
I still object to Brightstar marketing the product / experience as “proven” when it isn’t.
