Artificial Life (ALIF) Out Of Business?
Artificial Life (ALIF) Announces Q2 Results
Shareholders have been punished by backing up this company. A pity if you ask me, their new business model could exist besides their existing.
I have been a long time shareholder of Artificial Life and I have lost my faith already some time ago.
Shareholders don't like uncertainty and pay now the consequences (dilution, etc.) for wrong management decisions. With an empty shell it's hard to believe something positive happens.
The best thing they could do is sell their complete company or IP and pay out their shareholders. BASTA!

A Contest for Supremacy: China, America, and the Struggle for Mastery in Asia
An explosive examination of the fast-escalating Sino-American struggle for geopolitical predominance.
There may be no denying China's growing economic strength, but its impact on the global balance of power remains hotly contested. Political scientist Aaron L. Friedberg argues that our nation's leaders are failing to act expeditiously enough to counter China's growing strength. He explains how the United States and China define their goals and reveals the strategies each is now employing to achieve its ends. Friedberg demonstrates in this provocative book that the ultimate aim of Chinese policymakers is to "win without fighting," displacing the United States as the leading power in Asia while avoiding direct confrontation. The United States, on the other hand, sends misleading signals about our commitments and resolve, putting us at risk for a war that might otherwise have been avoided. A much-needed wake-up call to U.S. leaders and policymakers, A Contest for Supremacy is a compelling interpretation of a rivalry that will go far to determine the shape of the twenty-first century.

"Q1 of 2011 was our last quarter based on our former business model and strategy and it was again a strong quarter as so many before. However, as of the second quarter of this year we do no longer follow the same approach to help increase shareholder value and to achieve a better market value for our equity. In the coming months we focus on preparing investments and selecting appropriate targets. We are looking forward to implementing our new and innovative investment strategy and asset sales now as announced in prior communications," said Eberhard Schoneburg, CEO of Artificial Life, Inc.
STRANGE REMARK IF YOU ASK ME, I MEAN INCREASING SHAREHOLDER VALUE IS THE CORE OF A BUSINESS
