Re:what this is all about. (informative)

Kyle called "bullshit" back in september of last year. Don't know why, but Kyle wrote a ripping piece on them from out of nowhere...maybe they had some of his money!! [haha] but for some reason they pulled his chain and he went digging...and found free and clear public knowlage that they weren't what they said they were...hell their stated office address at the time was a vacant rundown store!

For some reason they tried to sue HIM to take the article down like 4 months later!!! He corrected matters of fact...silly stuff that didn't change any of the article's real information. They tried to drag him to court in Florida...so he "counter" sued in Texas court [where Kyle lives and supposedly they had an office also!] to have a case dismissed... they then preceded to sue him again.

I can't say why this is such a big deal. The only thing I can see is that Roberts appears to be a serial "scammer" [but then 50% of VC seekers are anyway] and it was just too easy a target for Kyle to pass up...and if you read the forums or letters replys, Kyle LOVES a good Flame war! can you say recipe for trouble!!!

"Infinium are trying to pull off something very difficult from a business perspective and Hard[OCP] stuck the boot in..."

What the hell? Where did you come from? Nice misinformation. Go read some of the evidence in these threads:

I applied for a job with them

[TiggertheMad]

..right when this whole feud started. They seemed like nice enough people. The were set up in temp offices in Seattle's bank of America building. Most of the PMs are ex-Microsoft (No MS jokes please, we are torching IL right now...) and at the time they were looking to hire a ton of people. They had the hardware done (Although I never saw it, being a first interiew), and were looking at the software delivery system. The ranking manager came off as a bit odd, but I didn't get and sense of shysters trying to pull a fast one or clueless idiots who couldn't pull it off. If all the negative press about the president being totally evil/inept isn't true, I'd give the console a fifty percent chance of seeing the light of day.

The guys I talked to even thought that PA's shot at them was funny, so they have a sense of humor about all the press. I'm sort of glad I wasn't offered a job, though. Too much wierd stuff was happening.
