Hopefully this thing also has airplane mode.

Probably already discussed by the same people talking about it right now. One of the things it does is show where your fingers are on the screen so you aren't looking down to do touch controls.

Of course they made almost exactly the money they needed with only 763 backers and three days to go.

One might find it suspicious that they've backed 16 projects, all of which made their funding within the past month. Maybe they're just that generous. Also their company has been around for 5 years and to be perfectly honest it seems like their product is completely done and they're just using kickstarter to rope suckers in.

That's what makes it more suspicious. They create a kickstarter, fund it, video games websites write about it incessantly and you attract geeks that way. Otherwise no one would be interested in yet another android console.

More Kickstarter_Minded_Folks.txt than an actual awful kickstarter but I figured you'd get a kick out of seeing how these people think:quote:I currently have no means of collecting funds to pay my team members but this does not mean that you will not be paid at all. This is obviously what the kickstarter is intended for.

They can't even make the dog look happy for their kickstarter page. I just see sadness and acceptance in that dog's face.

This totally could have just been an etsy project, its totally not a kickstarter, they're using the site as their store page. They've already sold to the 100 or so people on earth who want them and it'll never be something they ever have to make in bulk. I would totally pet a discodog.

Normally they need whole battleships to power lazers, how fat of cat are we talking about here? At normal temperature and density we'd need like 4.5, maybe even 4.6 Megarfields worth of feline to power just ONE lazer. That's definitely not sustainable, not after what Bob Barker did to the feral populations. edit: wtf is a laser pointer?

I don't understand how these are related to lazers. TetsuoTW posted:a better question is htf are you posting on the internet from the 1980s?

PHIZ KALIFA clearly hasn't learned about new laser technologies since the 1960s. A laser pointer is like one of those sniper line pointer things. Also, laser are just a super focused beam of light. Being able to kill or vaporize anything has nothing to do with lasers.
