Having just read the 'interview' with John, he seems a very slippery character who will not be pinned down on the simplest and most innocent of questions. His concerns over releasing technical details are understandable in the competitive market place into which he is entering BUT you cannot expect to use other peoples money and then not keep them informed of progress with at least a basic prototype demo and some genuine images. Such does not, in any way, compromise his design. Mu totally abuse the term NDA and use it as an ultimate defence against enquiries...pathetic. If he John his company to operate like a 'Black Ops' team, he should not have asked for public funding ! This guy appears a total prat and I am sorry for any who still have money invested in Mu. Can you imagine the aftersales support that Mu will offer IF they ever produce the product ? Don't expect very much....NDA you know !
In the time that the Mu project has been running I have bought a total of 14 used but working thermal cameras (in addition to others already owned) They may have cost me a little more money in some cases, but at least I have products that I can use, rather than empty promises !
It is very sad that John has turned out to be total nightmare for backers, but in my Office we would describe him as a 'NEWARK' (rearrange the letters to reveal an appropriate term !)
