>The president also accused Russia of "backward" thinking, following its decision to grant asylum to Edward Snowden, who disclosed details of the secretive surveillance programmes to media. I like how it is in quotes.

yeah. they don't want psychology to get in the way: 'oh man, i missed the 600 offer, not going to pay 830 for that phone' they did not plan their kickstarter project carefully. they need to have more rewards in the lower tier

they also removed the $600 price point - as if it never existed. pretty deceptive if you ask me.

innovations trickle down to "the people". innovations requires a lot of sunk cost. elon musk's vision is electric cars for everyone but decided to make the high end car first. Now he is slowing moving to mass market.

that would make obama score points in the public, but it is his second term as president already. this would also encourage more whistleblower activity that may get out of hand.
