I don't understand the "people not believing you'll get there" point. The pledger loses no money if the project doesn't attain its goal so there is no reason to not pledge just because it might fail.

Pixels are half the story. Cellphone cameras for example boast their megapixels but if the optics suck there's not much value gained from all those extra pixels. In those demonstration shots you can still make out faces from the far si

Maybe we will finally get laptop batteries that don't "mysteriously" die after their maximum charge drops to 50% of the original. I'm looking at you lenovo..

It is a symptom of global shortening of the attention span due to constant distractions and multitasking (on the internet and elsewhere). Watching a movie in a window while browsing the web and chatting on irc seems to be quite usual these

There is no similarity between that and religion. Religion by definition is an unjustified belief in supernatural - faith. There is no reason or logical backing for it. It is a malfunction of your reasoning system - perhaps heavy cognitive
