Talk with the imgix.com folks about the CoreImage stuff. They're using the built-in re-sampling in their product. Also chat with @deepbluecea who's done a lot of image processing stuff, including for Apple.

It seems Kickstarter should allow people to set a maximum number of donations and cut it off after that. It they could have handled building/wanted to build 50 machines, but not 5000, they should be able to set an upper limit on the nu
