That's great feedback! We've been so rushed to get it out the door for the holidays that we're lacking some basic information up front. We'll get that up shortly!
It's definitely pricy if you order one at a time, but if you want a run of business cards costs come down to a couple dollars each. Or you can just staple your existing business card to a $1 bill!

I found those prices in the 'how it works' page and nearly closed the tab without a second thought. You might want to give some prices for larger runs, or at the very least say somewhere that volume discounts are available. Now that I know that I wouldn't have to pay thousands of dollars for business cards, I'm more interested.
We totally understand! We still have to finalize pricing with our manufacturer so that's why we've asked people on the homepage to email us with business card / wedding invitation inquiries. It gets almost an order of magnitude cheaper logistics/labor wise to do large runs, we just need to make sure we can do a good enough quality job!
We're currently doing rolling shipping starting next week, and it should only take us a few days from you placing your order to us shipping things out!
I was way excited for this, but was a little disappointed as I went through the signup process.
I'm not terribly fashion-savvy, and I don't know how to pair things. If there were an 'outfit' option where you could receive a pair of pants / shorts and a fitting top for about $150 / month, I would sign up, and many of my friends would too.
That's a misunderstanding of what's going on here. It's quite easy to create or manipulate HTML5 elements in Win8 - it's merely that some of the methods used by Angular and Backbone don't play nice with WinJS unless you tell them to.
It's easy to forget what the iPad looked like when it first came out.
It was roundly mocked for merely being a larger iPod touch, and the same criticism that is the thesis of this post was levied against it. Industry experts claimed it had no place, and posited that Apple was inventing a need simply to push a product into.
Over time, people found and invented new uses for their iPads, and they came to realize that they can serve legitimate needs and desires.
This article is as myopic as those experts once were. Perhaps the Surface will be complete failure. Perhaps it will catch on, and people will invent new uses that make them compelling. Reading tea leaves and slamming Microsoft are fun to do, but this is hardly convincing.
Lady Gaga's entire career has been an A/B test. She started out as a singer and songwriter who actually poured some meaning into her music, and had no success. Then she seized the common pop chords, added a heavy back beat, stripped her songs of any meaning, and started wearing meat dresses. I'd say that B worked for her.
In addition, she's part of a larger A/B test being run by the industry. Music producers have a nearly unlimited supply of cookie-cutter musicians who they can produce in different ways to see what works. They're expendable, so when they fail the producers can move on and the musicians can go back to playing local clubs or whatever they did to get the producers' attention in the first place. I've known several musicians who got popular in a local scene, got a "big break" and released one heavily-produced album that sounded nothing like their previous work, and then faded back into obscurity. Every now and then one of them breaks big and the producers can cash in for a few albums.
