> You have to know, anything crowdfunded is very high risk.

People who ordered from Kanoa's site directly didn't "crowdfund" anything, they "pre-ordered" the headphones. They weren't gambling on Kickstarter. So what risk are you talking about? It has nothing to do with risk, it is fraud.

> I'm amazed some unscrupulous company has't abused it to take money with no intention of ever delivering a product.

there are plenty of million dollar fraudulent projects on Kickstarter, they don't care, they have only their reputation to loose.

> The touchbar is a problem looking for a solution. For the premium they charge for it I fail to see how it returns its value. Perhaps this was innovation for the sake of innovation, but I don't see the touchbar having a prolonged lifespan. Sooner or later Apple is going to come to the realization that they need a touchscreen on the MacBook.

IMHO the Surface Book from Microsoft is a great idea with a beautiful design but poorly executed [1]

I would have expected Apple to come up with this kind of product and phase out both the Macbook Air and the ipad. The Macbook + touchbar seems so half baked I'm not sure why Apple thought it was a good idea.

> The touch bar will evolve into a touch screen keyboard.

Have you ever tried to type on a touch keyboard without looking at it?

So you mean patch operations should be atomic right?
