I think this quote sums them up best:
So, then, what was the point of the jury? "We'll accept their judgement....so long as it confirms our claims!"
What is wrong with what Steorn is doing?

Well, a Hall probe is an actual instrument. I've used them (way in the past!).
But sticking a USB connector on one, while novel, is just a touch less revolutionary than perpetual motion.
And if that is one of the instruments they used to "prove" that Orbo is >100% efficient, perhaps I will look for a different manufacturer...

I think the back story to the Orbo is that they were already doing stuff with magnets and had actually sold some devices for card scanning or something similar. Maybe they're going to slip back into the commecial realm, now that they've pretty much shot their wad with the Orbo fiasco.

Unfortunately, the write up does not do justice to the headline "Steorn Snakeoil Salesmen Hawk $400 Magic Wand" and finishes with a fairly unconvincing line: "Or maybe we’re just cynical based on past events. I’m certainly no Hall Meter expert, but I do come equipped with a pretty good BS detector."

Sounds to me like the "Try to sell fake stuff" scam is winding down, so they've fallen back on the more traditional "Sell something real for an inflated price" scam. Hey, it works for the A/V cable guys!

While doubtless peddling it as "spin-off technology" from the Orbo Project.

Well, they also sell a magnetic torque measurement system.
So, they build own equipment to measure their over-unity crap. Since their "Orbo" stuff doesn't work, while they claim they have measured the effect, what does that tell us about their equipment....
Sounds like "Hey, look, i can vary my weight at will, down to 1 pound!" while fiddling with the self-made scale to prove so.

It is a one or two weeks old news but Steorn has announced that they will do a new Orbo demonstration before the end of 2009.
I haven't found the primary source (Twitter ?!?) but you'll find multiple references if you search Steorn in Google News or Blog search.
I don't believe it will work better than in July 2007 at the Kinetica demo but I wonder what the excuse will be this time.

Back up again now, must have needed to clean the magnets or something.
At last, something is happening :
Sean McCarthy, Steorn CEO, has posted the following message today, about one hour ago, on the Steorn forums.

Totally unexpectedly, they are closing Steorn forums with a few hours notice !
Might they want to delete annoying questions without answer before the release ?
(The release of "what" and "when" remains the big question
)
Edit : Someone seems to be closing threads manually on the Steorn forums at this very moment, so it is not a few hours notice, but a few minutes notice. They are getting more and more reckless...
