I don't think it's meant to compete with the fidget cube, a device where the main selling point is being small and discrete. This stick is closer in spirit to a yo-yo.

Have we had the dumb tablet yet? I've seen it around quite a bit. https://www.kickstarter.com/project...B_EN_KS-tablets It's a cheap tablet that mirrors whats on your phone. It's the same as buying a cheap tablet and putting a mirroring app on it, except worse because you can't use the tablet independently.

I like smart watches that do notification and the ability to check a few things at a swipe like the weather or your calendar. But the company that made those is out of business and the watches needed to be activated by company servers so...

You can still buy watches that do those things.

I was talking about the commercial failure meta watch brand. Now that I think about it, it was pressing buttons and not swiping. The simple screen and the lack of apps that required processing power gave it good battery life. I could buy one of dozens of Chinese smartwatches with a poorer battery life, identically ugly UIs, and the need to swipe around on screens that are a bit too small for me to use effectively. But they don't meet my needs.

Pebble going out of business was a good thing for me because it resulted in this smart watch comparison spreadsheet. I bought myself a Vivoactive for Christmas because it does the things you listed while being relatively small, cheap, and battery‐sipping. fakeedit: That spreadsheet has really gotten out of hand   . It had way fewer columns in in December.

No touchscreen, just side buttons for controls, will show weather and notifications when connected by Bluetooth to your phone. Has, of course, extensive options for recording heart rate and speed/distance/steps while exercising. There's also a small little app store, mostly very simple things like extra watch faces and that. They also make fancier models with touchscreens, and stuff like that, but the Forerunner 235 is what you'd want it seems.

The more important information on that Kickstarter is that there is apparently going to be a 7th Guest TV series, which sounds like an even worse idea.

Who wants to play a poo poo trivia/puzzle game for 5 hours? If you are a ghost, you don't get to play until you make somebody else the ghost, at which point they can no longer play. Sounds exciting. Sign me up.

A lot of those other FMV heavy games have been remade in a similar way, they work quite well. Some of them even have singificantly higher quality video because they can finally get the video off of the source film at better than postage stamp resolution.

Here's a knife you cannot hold properly without slicing up your own hand: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/228096009/doppio-double-sided-kitchen-knife/description Even the people in the promo shots are holding it in a really unstable and awkward fashion.
