Kickstarter projects have become exponentially popular after Double Fine studios and Tim Schafer raised over $3 million for a $400,000 adventure game and $3 million for the Pebble Smartwatch. The Amplifiear, an iPad sound amplifier, uses the same tiered Kickstarter pledges as so many others, so you can witness your money being put to use. Just the way capitalism intended. It works the same way as cupping your ears, and, unlike cupping your ears, doesn’t make you look like an idiot chimpanzee. The result is a louder sound at a softer volume, increasing fidelity and lowering distortion. Make a pledge, get your Amplifiear, and become the most popular person in the entire damn world (not guaranteed).
