Ironically, we are discussing their demise on their own website,
I am not sure ironic is the correct word. I think many of us regulars here will on occasion... moderate our own comments... in regards to some of X10 actions. But.... I don't think X10's problems are completely the fault of X10's actions.
I am convinced by many things, and for many reasons that America is entering into a depression. Whether the depressions cause is blamed on the actions of other nations like China, or Greece (or the PIGS nations). Or if the economic disruption is is blamed on American imperialism... is purely academic.
General Motors, the unrivaled global manufacturing behemoth of generations.... restructured in a special (Government forced) bankruptcy in '09. Bank of America, who created the first Credit Card that was actually usable by the average person. BankAmericard (now Visa) made the already strong and famous bank globally iconic. Yet, BoA stands today only on government aid.
I just hope X10 can jiggle its business model around with a Site similar to Smarthome and others. If X10 can broaden its market and be successful it will be doing better than what some of the best have done recently. And...
then... someday... maybe... we might even see a new, completely different, more advanced programable interface device. Which.... X10 will likely also name a CM15A (causing great confusion).
Let us just hope... that somethings never change.
