Reading over posts & questions on PR's, if Aurora did approach VDRM, this may explain why there has been a complete news black out since the conference.
If they are talking, Aurora would have sworn everyone to secrecy until an agreed upon time, so acquisition talks may be the reason we haven't heard a peep from Otiko.
Just a thought as I read over the posts here and at Aurora's board, where posters are discussing the same thing.
