StreamCast (Morpheus) CEO resigns

The file sharing P2P-technology companies are struggling to turn their popularity into a good business. And of course there are the legal problems as well.

Personally I wonder when will the Direct Connect get more attention? It still seems that media focuses on Kazaa and perhpas GNUTella variants.

Outgoing executive Steve Griffin had headed the company throughout its years-long incarnation as one of the most popular file-trading software companies on the Net. The company's terse statement gave no indication as to why he was leaving, but said it would continue operating.

"StreamCast Networks is currently in the process of selecting the best candidate to take StreamCast and…Morpheus, to the next level," the company said in a statement. "In the interim, StreamCast's executive team is running the company operations and remains firmly committed to producing superior P2P software products like Morpheus."

The reason that Kazaa and the likes are so much more popular than DC is their ease of use. Just type in a word and search for the file. I´ve only given Direct Connect a brief try, but it´s seemed alot more complicated to use.

	Roomba Plus 505 Combo review - Surprisingly good and relatively affordable robot vacuum In our review, we go through the pros and cons of the obstacle-avoiding, mopping Roomba 505 Combo+ robot vacuum. During a long test period, the robot's cleaning performance was pleasing, but it was far from perfect.
	Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
