The FLIR One just eviscerated whatever miniscule chance was left for Mu to ever get anything done or ever make any money.
This illustrates one of the problems with crowdfunding. You put an idea out there but you really have no clue how you are going to actually achieve it - so you just put up a bunch of bullshit pie-in-the-sky rendered crap. Then you get a bunch of money, and you have to figure out how to actually make it. Someone who knows how to make it and is experienced in making it comes along and kicks your ass, and you come out with an inferior product, months later, and wind up the second to market with a compromised product that is too expensive and doesn't have the first-maker cache.
Happened with Lifx.

Happened with that iPhone stand.
Happened with that USB signal thing.
Happened with countless electronic doo-dads.
