that's a good point -- the confederacy was never a real country, so invading those shitheads shouldn't count

not a kickstarter, but

- flashy, glitzy website with little content but a fully functional sales system
- biggest button on front page is "pre-order" (all sold out already)
- no physical prototype shown; all images rendered from the same angle
- no explanation of the technology beyond vague buzzwords ("high-definition flexible display")
- no numbers in most specs (e.g. resolution, colors); those given are unreasonable ("30 day battery life")

http://shiftwear.com/

also they stole their logo from Specialized bicycles.

really the entire thing is a goldmine. go to the support tab and read the questions (i like the one about the "all white sneaker") for some real doozies.

e: the product was announced a year ago, so it was probably posted here back then, but their supposed release date was fall 2016 so

This one is a kickstarter and it is fantastic.
Ever had the problem of your glasses not tipping over easily enough? Have you ever wanted a $130 coaster full of electronics for your drinks?
No?
Well, those people decided what is apparently needed is a glass that floats over a coaster. Rewards include just the coaster, or for $10 more you can have one glass with it. They talk a bit how millenials are reinventing drinking in new ways so they need new presentations to interest that market. So they make an electronic coaster to float a drink cup so you can impress guests at a fancy party as your cup slides off the coaster, tips over, shorts it out and necessitates a change of clothes.

it shouldn't "slide" but a full cup is going to tip right the hell over if you look at it wrong

their own gifs on that page show it getting wobbly as gently caress when you pour poo poo into it, and the only time someone tries to put it down they're going very slowly and using both hands

And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

The packaging is made from same heavy matte finished box packaging that the Apple iPhone comes in (yes the exact same factory).

Also, in order to ensure the Levitating CUP can handle the added weight of your beverage, the cup is made from ultra-lightweight yet very durable faux-glass.

yes nothing complements the experience of drinking at a high end establishment quite like my $18 cocktail being served in a plastic cup.
