Babbage builders turn down Kickstarter


	Quote: An ambitious 10-year project to build the world's first computer, the Analytical Engine, will rely on donations via the website JustGiving. Although Kickstarter, the crowdfunding website, is about to launch in the UK, the team say the 10% commission it charges for its service is too high. It will cost £250,000 to build the steam-powered machine.
