A quick recap of recent events

 

Let’s do a quick recap of what has happened since end of Sep 2012.

On 11 Sep, this is what Notion Ink said.

On 22 Sep they said ‘we’ll get to adam II shortly’, and you know what “shortly” means in this company’s lingo.

And this, on 27 Sep

And some completely worthless, useless, already known info on 12 Oct

Stay tuned! for ….???

And then, a pathetic ‘hello world’ with a blurry pic that excited no one. This must be the saddest intro pic that I’ve seen in a long a time. And maybe 5 people were excited after reading this…

This also prompted some interesting headlines from the web

It’s a laughing stock at this point (except to a few clueless fans still hanging around). OK, now let’s discuss a few things.

And then, on 9 Nov, a festival tweet and silence.

Is there any doubt anymore that this is one of the worst startups ever to see the light of the day? Does anyone believe these people anymore? Here’s a recent thread that shows that even the “I believe in them and all their mess is because of someone else!” crowd is beginning to have some doubts.

It’s amazing that it took so long for some people to see what many of us saw over a year and half ago, crystal clear, that they were all being lead along by a company with no value for its words and questionable business behavior. Think they haven’t been making false claims? Just look at the tabs on top of this page.

Oh, and a quick update on the retarded monkey situation. Retarded monkey’s been quiet. Nothing new to report. Mail’s been spam free too.

Have you also wondered why they abandoned their blog for their silly newsletter? A newsletter is purely one-directional. Unlike the blog which can be indexed or comments left on, a newsletter gives no chance for anyone to respond. Exactly what they want.
