Ubuntu Edge Now Most-Backed Crowdfunding Campaign Ever

Posted by timothy on from the someone-will-run-with-the-idea dept.

Volanin writes "The Ubuntu Edge has now passed the $10.2 million mark, thus making it the most pledged-to crowd-funder in history. While the Ubuntu Edge campaign is to be commended for reaching such a mammoth milestone as this, it can't quite claim ultimate victory yet, since it's just short of making one-third of its $32 million goal with a little less than a week left."

    Right, but the article isn't "Ubuntu Edge now most backed escrowed campaign". It's claiming it's the biggest crowd-funded campaign, which it's clearly not. Although, it's not Star Citizen either. I believe World War II takes out that title. $185.7 billion in un-adjusted crowd-funded dollars.
