It would be interesting to see of each amount, how many of them wear glasses/contacts because I have always been curious to see the correlation between time spent looking at a screen and its effects on eyesight.

I can have a prototype running in a matter of minutes

That's the case for any microframework whose language you're comfortable in.

BTW, Maybe buying a home in Detroit (especially now that it's officially bankrupt and will hopefully be able to break out of the unions commitments) would be a good business move? That's a cheap place to bootstrap a business for sure.

Not really because part of having a business is staying alive :)

That's because the project page itself was done in a way that doesn't raise any flags. But if you dig into what his book actually contains, then you'll see what's wrong with the project.

In all honesty I don't blame Kickstarter for approving it originally because at face value the project does seem harmless, but nevertheless they f'ed up and admitted to their mistake and I applaud them. It's never easy to admit you were wrong.
