Justin, I'm with you on that.
It will be interesting to see how some deal with it after the company is finally nonexistent. I suspect some people will have to create a scapegoat to blame for their investment debacle.
Like claiming that edig was really on to something but the competition stole their ideas or sabotaged the company and that's why it failed and they lost money.
The way a guy who starts up a restaurant that fails blames the other restaurants in the area for its demise, saying "those established places drove me out of business, they didn't like the competition."
When in reality the other places had better food and service at comparable or even lower prices.
To complete the parable, edig never really had much of anything useful--at least not for very long. Perhaps the micro OS was very useful at one point in time, but that time passed quickly. And after that there wasn't much, which they essentially admitted to the world when the company became a patent troll of some notoriety.
