So, the same exact article appears on PCWorld, at the exact URL (just change the domain's 'mac' > 'pc'). Is that normal? I never visit either site, so I'm unfamiliar how much cross-posted content it/they feature across both domains.[0]
Oddly (to me, at least), the company's domain (http://batteriser.com http://batteriser.com) redirects to a single page on another domain. That page & domain is http://comingsoon-tech.com/batteriser http://comingsoon-tech.com/batteriser.
Curiously, http://comingsoon-tech.com http://comingsoon-tech.com (sans path) redirects to http://agency20.com http://agency20.com, an agency that describes itself as offering "bespoke crowdfunding strategy ... as a way for creative professionals and entrepreneurs to successfully fund & grow their projects, while retaining 100% ownership and creative control."[2][4]
Looking at the page one lands on via the redirect trip from http://batteriser.com http://batteriser.com > http://comingsoon-tech.com/batteriser http://comingsoon-tech.com/batteriser, I can't help but notice an insane amount of nearly identical wording as that which appears in the PC/MacWorld articles.
Something is quite fishy here.

[2]: i've combined direct quotes from their home page & "our story" page[3]
[3]: http://www.agency20.com/our-story/ http://www.agency20.com/our-story/ [+]
[4]: someone at agency|2.0 really ought to fix the Twitter description by adding a "with" or "using" or some other such coordinating helper verb, preposition, phrase, what-have-you. one expects a bit finer fit and finish with bespoke goods. [+]
[+]: footnotes for footnotes are fun
