jp7189 The title makes me think the mountain design is functional, but the body of the article doesn't give any detail. Is the metal mesh crystal the mountain looking thing, or is the mountain just decoration? Assuming it is the mountain, how does that shape help with signal propagation? Reply
pclaughton When a huge, multinational conglomerate "crowdfunds" a new product, we've really lost the plot. Reply

Internally company management may have believe it would be a total failure but some employee with clout was insistent. "Ok Bob, go crowd fund it then. Prove to our department that it is viable." Customers putting their money where their mouths are is the ultimate proof. Reply

Not really as a few people wanting a product doesn’t mean there’s a large enough market for it. Reply

However now Bob doesn't just have to rely on Bob's intuition and a serious look is likely to occur by management and others. You're right Bob, there's some sort of a "here" here. In any case, no plot is being lost. Crowd funding is just a tool. That is all I was getting at. Reply

Just because a project is backed through crowdfunding doesn’t mean it’s a valid commercial idea or even a good idea in principle. For example the Ouya was extremely successful in crowdfunding, not so much out of it. Reply
