powerset is told to be sold to microsoft, i heard that from singularity
what is the things to do with me, later i will explain, but truly it is sold too cheap, it worth several billions with no big problem
ok, the relationship with me, powerset is technically and also commercially brilliant company, because it has cutting edge computational linguistic tech, and microsoft want to buy that at such low price, it is hurting more than the powerset itself, it hurt also the value of high tech, and high tech people, such things is well beyond the stuff sold by microsoft, technically at least, and also at least commercially not weaker than better than microsoft msn in next several years
