: You wanna see what pisses ME off? Look at this Kickstarter for a freaking
: wristwatch smart phone expansion:
: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper-watch-for-iphone-and-android
: They asked for $100k and people gave them TEN MILLION DOLLARS. 31 people on
: this Earth gave them more than $10k each, which funded them over 3x more
: than what they asked for, and which doesn't even take into consideration
: the 68,898 OTHER people who continued to fund them beyond that.

: Now these people were going to buy the product at some point anyway, but they
: were using Kickstarter as a store, which is supposed to be at its core a
: crowd-funded initiative and is dangerous to assume a finished product will
: be given out at the end of development at all. It's a reckless use of a
: large amount of money, the vast majority of which could've been put to far
: better use in society than funding a piece of plastic that works as a
: second screen for your iPhone.

That is indeed sad. You do prove a valid point, especially since, don't they have these out in stores already? I've seen them advertised, albeit in it's Nano form. Still, it's the exact same thing.
