It has taken them a hell of a long time to do this disposal and for a short time even, we thought they might be stupid enough to hold onto it BUT we are pretty much certain that FINALLY Vision Media Group (VMG) International have disposed of said business unit. More will be made clear […]

Imagesound Announces Staff Lay Offs

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Chris Sheldrake

Yesterday we believe, Imagesound called all of its employees together in their Chesterfield head office, only to tell them that there were going to be a number of redundancies within the company. We also believe that Mood Media has, perhaps more quietly, started shedding some staff as well. The retail and leisure music sector has […]

Great interface, large screens, clearly laid out, fitted in with the surroundings, simple to use AND on Westfield’s very first opening day at least there were lots of lovely […]

Chris Sheldrake

This may be old news to some (we doubt it though) but we haven’t seen a press release about it and our web spiders and alerts certainly haven’t picked it up either but we understand that Mike Silverman, formerly with the Thomson / Technicolor business units joined i-vu back in July 2008.

Only a few days ago we wrote after the Q3 Wireless Ronin (Nasdaq: RNIN) conference call that their stock traded at a market capitalization approximately USD 1 million above the cash on hand – you figured it couldn’t get much worse but Tuesday saw, for the first time their stock dipping below the one US […]
