Be Throws in the Towel

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the past-tense-of-be dept.

darrad writes: "ZDNet is reporting that 'Be, the failed maker of a computer operating system once considered a rival to Microsoft's Windows, said Monday it would dissolve itself on March 15 and delist from the Nasdaq stock market.'" The Be front page says the same, and explains that this is the natural conclusion of the company's sale of most of its property to Palm.

    could someone please explain to me how the parent comment got +5? it is just such the lamest thing i have ever read on slashdot and i am at a loss to understand how it got that high.

    Actually, metamod won't fix this. (At least not the meta-mod I know)

    It might have been a correct +3 insightful, but not +5.

    So, meta-mod might fix it if it wasn't insightful at all, but not if it's just alot more insightful than it really was.

    Cheers!
