Not trying to be rude, but why is engadget linked here instead of the actual KickStarter? I can't be the only one who hates struggling to find a source link on most news sites? Wouldn't it be more useful to just link to the KickStarter?

Edit: Ok so engadgets source links are easy to find but still why not just link to the KickStarter?

So let's also link to the Kickstarter.

I had the same thought. It's basically blog spam. Engadget adds a sentence or two.

>why is engadget linked here //

I'd guess that engadget is the news aggregator that the OP found the content on. HN should allow this sort of link, as a first submission, but add in source links if not given by the OP. [But HN don't seem interested in changing the interface at all].
