I noticed that too. Funny thing I saw an article about IB about 2 months ago on one of those tech shows on TV. They didn't get good reviews.

I work for one of those real companies and saw how "loosey-goosey" Jelsoft did things compared to the discipline required for real commercial software. Figured it was just a matter of getting to the point where "adult supervision" was going to be required. Nothing bad about that, just the consequence of success.

Instead they sell out to a media company whose president looks like Willem DeFoe. Apparently the bidding never got very hot.

Not feeling good about this.... will watch this closely. There's another shoe to drop IMHO.
