June 2012: Invent Your Own Anything

I can't progress past the second slide in this gallery, no matter how many times I retry/reload. I'm using Firefox. Is this a browser thing, or a PopSci.com thing?
My mouse button is getting worn out...how about offering the pics in an "all" format so we can view a page at at time...
I'm not interested in seeing all of the 169 items, but only those categories that interest me. I'm irked that there is no navigational links to take me to a subset. For a magazine dedicated to all things science, this is an astounding shortcoming :-(
Your web page designer also appears to think that we all enjoy clicking on our mice!!
I'd suggest that you categorize the items and on each page for that category provide thumbnails, that we can drill down to, if we're interested.

There is no definition for image 25.

Images 28 and 30 also seem to be missing definitions.
A dissapointing first visit to the PopSci website. I'll stick to the magazine.
even if the pages were only organized into 'cameras','GPS systems' and 'other', it would make looking at only what you are interested in alot easier.
but its unlikely the folks at PopSci would ever do that, they probably get more money by making everyone have to go through everything, it is really just a form of advertising after all.
this site is too frustrating to use,will remove it from my favs.
jabber08 has it right, making the user have to click 169 times is a PAIN and is bad enough. But, what is really BAD, is that my browser won't let me go further than item 41 of the 169 total!!!
Why don't you provide the user a viewing option to automatically step through each item with the an adjustable number of seconds at each one?
