Sightly off-topic...
GOM (and by extension, SL) has been featured in the "Innovator" section of this month's National Post Business Magazine. Here's a subscriber-only link to the article, and a grainy PDF attached.

I just don't get why you guys didn't tackle IGE. You could have bust them wide open.
You must be millionaires in real life or something! _____________________

Hmmm, I always thought they had some kind of offshore organisation. However, someone mentioned their paypal is based off of a USA LLC.
But, yes, Tom and Jamie are pretty risk-averse, so I guess that is probably why. Still, it would have been cool to see you guys take them on. My guess is they're trying to starve you out of secondlife in case that you might try to compete with them at some point. Either that, or they've got people farming L$ for them, because those prices are pretty low. _____________________
