I believe BFL will ship. Albeit 7 months late and way off on their power/speed estimates, but they will ship.
My biggest grievance is that they are liars and continue to lie to their customers that funded their R&D.
Their biggest concern from day 1 has been to keep the preorder money flowing into their bank account.
I would be pissed off if I had spent money preordering a product and the company KNOWINGLY took my money and spent it on google ads. clearly that is not what the pre orders paid for, nor a fancy office, nor a staff. we know they are not making the chips, foundries do that and they are not a foundry. so how can they justify taking preorder money and spending it on anything other than the units they promised to build? how can you think they are legitimate when they keep pushing back shipping... now almost a year late with nothing but excuses. where are the finished units? how can they only have 5? it makes no sense. I can make the chip they pretended to make in les than 12 months as a single engineer... why can't a team do the same?
