X10 Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection

Posted by simoniker on from the but-i-love-their-ads-so dept.

telstar writes "As a followup to the recent Slashdot story about X10 losing a $4.3 million patent infringement suit over pop-unders, X10, the wireless camera company that 'only last year billed itself as the world's largest online advertiser', have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. This allows them to continue to operate, but they'll be shielded from creditors while they reorganize their finances - so rest easy, X10 popups are here to stay."

    X10 popups have made the Web what it is today. Losing them would be like losing a part of one's body. I'm glad to hear they will still be with us.

    Long live X10!

    So, someone caught X10 with their pants down, so to speak?
