Carl,

English: We got chased out of the graphics market and are now looking for a new story to tell the venture capitalists. We've burned a pile of their money to the tune of a couple dozen million dollars. Now we've run out, and we don't have anything to show for it but a song, a dance, and vapor ware.]

Your assessment of Pixel Fusion sounds about right. They are going through the same set of marketing contortions as Raycer Graphics did, prior to Raycer's demise. (Pixel Fusion and Raycer were the two companies attempting to do per-pixel lighting in hardware.)

Bilow, what is your last name ? (I'm presuming that Carl is your first name). I'm wondering if I know you.

Carl,

you have written a critical and somewhat humorous post on PixelFusion.
Then you shoot yourself in the foot referring to their plans as "vapor ware".
Discounting a few lab prototypes and a lot of talk, I conclude that DDR has produced far more vapor and certainly burned a factor more dollars than PixelFusion is ever likely to do.
