Many thanks to the great Penny Arcade for drawing my attention this piece on Infinium Labs, the company behind currently-in-development uber-console Phantom. If you're not a gamer, it's just possible you've heard of the Phantom (and possibly Infinium Labs), and if you ARE a gamer you really should have heard of it by now. Anyway, Infinium Labs are spinning the usual kinda pitch to various gaming news sites and magazines about how their console will be the best, etc., but strangely it appears that [H]ard|OCP is the first to take a look beyond the hype and press releases. They also, so they say, didn't have to look hard or far to find the info in their article, and yet Infinium seem mighty annoyed that anyone would dare posting such publicly-available material. The article is centred on Infinium Labs CEO Timothy Roberts, who appears to have been heavily involved with (and in some cases, to have run) a number of businesses that have failed or gone bankrupt in the last six years.
From the article:
"We figured the best, and presumably most accurate, source of
information about Mr. Roberts would be his own website. The link sends you to a cached page on
Google. We decided to use cached pages for our links to present to you the
information as it appeared at the time of our research, in the chance the site is
updated or altered after this article is published. A quick look at the site shows
