Is Amiga Inc (KMOS) still alive?

[persia]

Looking at Amiga Inc's website there has been nothing posted since the first of  February.  Have they died? Transfered the IP to another shell company?  What's up?  I notice that Amiga Development has added Linux to it's dotNet skills but what about the so called parent company?

Relax- several of their executives were seen making deposits at Indymac bank. Had to wait in line a little.

Nothing to worry about.

They are alive enough to continue to sue Hyperion Entertainment.

I don't think that they are KMOS anymore.

[persia]

Should we refer to them as "the shill formerly known as KMOS?"




Actually Gary Hare is a real person!

KMOS AKA Amiga Inc should be hit with a boing ball.  Why did Bill & Co. work so hard to transfer the assets and name to KMOS if they weren't going to use them?  Was it just a game to screw ex-employees and creditors?

It would certainly appear so, although they would probably prefer to call it "keeping the company afloat despite financial troubles." They can't say insolvent instead of "financial troubles" because then they'd be conceding that Hyperion is right, and they would lose the court case.* Bill is quick to point out that he was also owed money by the original A Inc. but, IMHO, that is irrelevant; they still managed to keep assets whilst screwing over creditors.

* the agreement between the original A Inc. and Hyperion basically states that, should A Inc. become insolvent, Hyperion can continue to develop OS4 and beyond on its own.

I hear they've just hired Doomy as the new CTO.

I call that a vast improvement compared to their past CTO....

@Hans

Exactly, and one of the reasons i think they lost the case before it even began, that and not providing the source code, paying 5 dollars less then the said sum and having bill himself saying they were insolvent in another court case.

Whats going on with the case now btw?

I haven't really been following it for a while. IIRC, they are in court-ordered mediation, and will soon have to set deadlines for ending discovery, etc.
