This is a timely piece for me after seeing and hearing thoughts from the YC side[0] and the practitioner side[1]. I'm of the belief that many security issues can't be innovated away like a stereotypical startup is funded to solve. There aren't any "products" to sell when many of the problems lie with the decision making processes at insecure organizations.

Thanks for the comment. I managed to snag a 16GB at 6:08 EST and I'm crossing my fingers that the order doesn't get lost.
The first time I ever visited Kickstarter was almost a year ago today. I don't remember how but I became interested in a neat little device called the Klinggon (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/klinggon/klinggon-the-ma...). I thought about putting money down but decided that I would just wait for a public launch and try one in a store.
And wouldn't you know it, all that remains of the project is a website "under contruction" and no estimates of delivery for the product. Dodged a (cheap) bullet there.
