Word is they were not able to do much more than sell their assets. But what about all those great partnerships with Time Warner Cable, etc, etc? Did they plain run out of money? I thought they had great licensing deals going with the cable cos and others.

Yeah real good, The company sold out to Roxio, 3/4’s of the employees lost their jobs at Simple Star, including me, and all the stock options for long term employees were tossed away, some losing 60,000 shares or roughly 200,000 thousand dollars. I bet the owners didn’t blink when it came to pocket change for them though. A company that professed to value it’s employees dumps them without a blink. Business as Usual for this company. Thanks Chad. (THE OWNER)
NOT EVEN A TWO WEEK NOTICE THERE!

I think beyond being just a good acquisition, it was necessary for them. Companies that don’t actively pursue and online presence will not prevail long-term.

I think web is good way of expansion. Isn’t it?

Another acquisition! That’s became a daily news now. Big companies acquire small hits and make them a part of their portfolio.
