After a slowdown around ~ $1,000,000.- I was almost sure they'd miss the first stretch goal even. Now I find myself hitting 'reload' to see if the second stretch goal is still possible. We're at $1.720.035,- and there's only 13 hours left. ...

Apparently, I have.

Well, it's hard to underestimate the power of a hype train/boat, so you have a point there.

3)Microsoft just gave their employees a $250 Christmas bonus they can spend anyway they like...
Hmm...so a significant number of them would spend it on the Jolla campaign. That's an odd point, but I couldn't think of anything else that would make more sense.

EDIT: BTW < $30,000
And it's still going. Wow...

Wow says it all! Btw, I was kidding about the microsoft bonus. Just sounded too good to resist saying. Hope it doesn't go viral!

177 €209 tablets left, if they sell all of them then Jolla will have raised an additional €40,000. It's possible.

Lol I couldn't tell if it was a joke until you said otherwise. It made too much sense.

If I had a say @ Jolla, I'd make sure this doesn't happen. :)

Finally bit the bullet and ordered Lastu case. :)

That is, after confirming from my wife that it does not actually look bad at all. Outsourced decision making. :D

Hopefully will also got the bonus in form of split-screen...

I wonder where the money typically comes from... You know, if it's Europe, we'll have to expect a decline overnight. If China, Russia, Australia, US&Canada are active, the story is different...
