If you look at the mirrors in the pictures from CES on their Facebook page you can see images on the screens at least.

That is a screen protector not a mirror.

Old Facebook page updated and a new Facebook page added just for the mirror and connected line.

Fyi they have said that they did have several units set up including the mirror, several tables and other items. They said they will be uploading more pictures soon.
They have updated the Facebook page, not much new yet, but at least it is something.

I am guessing this is just the beginning. The capstone idea is driven by a central hub. They have already said that it will have living room end tables coming in the very near future. That alone gets them in the ground floor of an rapidly expanding market, the next question is what else will they tie in.

Looking at the news feed there are articles in many different languages so the exposure is going out internationally.
So the new product line will be getting introduced to vendors with an emphasis on developing marketing in the next quarter. Expected to have a limited introduction in time for Christmas sales and full introduction at the Consumer electronics show in January (space is already rented)
It is geared towards the home automation market and is significantly more complex in nature than previous company offerings.
So the new product line is going to be something the consumer will interact with to some extent. They indicated it will be going through robust consumer testing to try to minimize returns through ecommerce channels and it is expected to be in home improvement category (I am guessing that means Home Depot and Lowe's kind of channels)
News out, $7 million backlog entering 4th quarter and lots of orders for new products

Almost, it is basically the same but it is a sleeker design and the remote looks closer to the one they are shipping with the puck lights.
FYI I just got back from a trip out of town and had stopped by Costco while on the road and saw not only the remote control puck lights but also a remote control plug adaptor, similar function to a clapper but with a true remote for it. Marketed as useful for Christmas lights and heaters.
FYI here is a link to the May National Hardware Show in Las Vegas

That's what I get for typing too fast. Good thing I included a link to clear up my oops.
So March 27 before the opening for the financial report and a bit later for the conference call.
NEWS OUT : 4th quarter and year end results to be released on march 28th before opening and a conference call scheduled for later that afternoon

Will look it over more later, but it looks like Hoover - US (Vs Hoover - UK) is owned by Techtronics. They have several brands including Ryobi, Homelite, Milwaukee, AEG Power Tools, Dirt Devil and VAX
Keeps cutting out on me but I believe I heard that Hoover is the branding partner
Do note, no idea if this is real or not, but since some of the speculation is for Westinghouse I did want to throw out a thought creeping around my head about that. CAPC was my second stock I ever picked up and the only one I have been confident enough in to hold a position in with my own money for a long time. The first one I bought into was WEST, for Westinghouse Solar. This was in fact a branding opportunity for a different company (now known as Andalay, Solar) for integrated solar panels. When I was first getting into trading it seemed like it had quite a few good things going for it, good product, nice retail channels, etc. What soured me on them was their management, and even though I took a small loss I sold out of that because I found a better looking stock in CAPC (and it was the perfect time since WEST never made it back that level again and now they are diluting shares to make money). Since then Westinghouse and Andalay parted company, though Andalay still trades under the WEST ticker.
Now the interesting thing here is that obviously the solar panels that were being made are a product that would be outside, and we have been told that the next product to be introduced would be an outside product and integrated solar panels would slide well into the AC Kinetics niches. Could just be a huge coincidence, but I thought it was an interesting one to throw out there as a possibility for consideration.
My theory would be GE. The reason why is that it would also tie in to the AC Kinetics research. Capstone, GE and AC Kinetics would be able to make a killer Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) unit

Hopefully that was the last of the shares of whomever was bombing this thing. Really wish I had seen it coming I would have been gobbling those 3.2's up with you. At least most of these should have been picked up by more long term investors that know when to use a market sell and when to use a limit (Sheesh, I have only been messing around with the market since last October and I knew that before November)
I do love the info regarding the loan situation. In my book anytime you can reduce your loan debt the better. And I am waiting quite expectantly for the September unveiling of new products.
Gonna be a fun time as far as I am concerned.
I am just fine with not doing stock promotions as well though I would like to see a little more advertising for the products, though I suppose some of the reason for not doing so to this point might be getting manufacturing to a point where they can handle the extra demand that increased product advertising would generate.
Still really feels like there is more going on with the ac kinetics partnership than has been released to me.
All I can say is if I had some free cash I would be buying up these cheapies. I don't personally think they will get this low again after tomorrow. As I said before, general rule of thumb is good news comes out early in the week, bad news is buried on Friday afternoon.

I would take a start to the day. Guessing the market is glitching again since none of the pennys I am watching are moving
While I am not saying your opinion is wrong, you do have a good track record here, I did want to point out the old rule that when you are putting out bad news in business and politics and want it buried so it doesn't sting as bad you announce it on Friday afternoon. This call is on a Tuesday morning. Just sayin'...
So I was at Costco checking on sales when a guy came around the corner and quickly grabbed 3 of the motion detector lights. I found out he had bought one the other day and loved it and had to get more. When I mentioned that the company was publicly trading at about 5 cents a share he pulled out his phone and put CAPC on his watch list.
As for Putin I don't know as I would trust a word from his formerly KGB backside.
OK so far this morning it seems to be behaving itself
Not sure if it is just me or not but my online app has been acting very squirlly the last couple days for this stock. Anytime I do something it keeps going back to showing the pps as .004, until I look at the chart then when I go back to my watch list it gives me a correct current view but won't update even then. This seems to be the only stock on my list that is doing this

The thing I find most interesting about Mr Wallach's comments in there is that he is praising AC's motor control algorithms. Now I am a professional electronics guy (BSEET from DeVry) and I really can't see where AC motor control algorithms would help much with the newest products we know about at this time. I really wonder if there is something else out there we don't even know about yet. Just my opinion here, no definite proof of this, just a gut hunch.
News about a new AC Kinetics investor. CAPC is mentioned http://www.marketwatch.com/story/juridica-lse-jil-london-invests-in-green-technology-developer-ac-kinetics-software-cuts-electric-costs-2014-07-14?reflink=MW_news_stmp
I know none of my shares are going anywhere for quite some time to come.
