great.. just what we need.. more "fuzzy logic"

"hakia was co-founded by Dr. Riza C. Berkan, a nuclear scientist by training with a specialization in artificial intelligence and fuzzy logic,"

@TheMagicM

Yes, but what for this topic: "Amigainc alumni Pentti Kouri & John Gryzmala new startup"?

I think it should be John Grzymala. It's a polish name and Gryzmala sounds weird to me.

@AmigaBlitter

It means they are starting up a new business. The link in the original post explained it in fair detail.

As for the site itself, the results I'm getting on hakia don't seem significantly different than what I get on Google. Perhaps it needs more "tuning".

Yes, it is actually John Grzymala. He's the guy with the Madison Ave., NYC address that has been used as the company's mailing address.

About the topic title, actually these aren't Amiga, Inc. alumni since they are still involved with the company as investor and board member, etc.

What does this have to do with Amiga/Amiga inc???

If answer is nothing then why post it in "Amiga General Chat"?

@fjudde

To sum up the article and what it has to do with Amiga is the two people who use to work for Amiga.inc founded http://www.hakia.com/ which is new meaning based search engine probably designed around "fuzzy logic."

Don't know if it matters or not, but to be accurate these aren't two people who used to work for Amiga, Inc. They are the primary venture capitalist who funded Amiga, Inc. and another board member and presumed investor -- still involved with the company -- now funding and managing another startup. Perhaps there's a tax advantage for them in Amiga, Inc.'s not making any money; clearly they have money to invest but are putting it elsewhere.

Darth_X probably thought "alumni" because there are very few current Amiga, Inc. people and maybe odds are anyone in the news with an Amiga, Inc. affiliation is former rather than current. (I'm saying "very few" because despite Bill McEwen's statements, it seems the only people involved with the company are those whose names come up in the legal documents and so on. If anyone has seen any indication that the mythical AmigaOS5 crew actually exists, for example, it'd be nice to be let in on it.)
