Sorry guys, but this is infact true, It was supposed to be posted on the official acekard site today but they haven't updated it as of yet. I did update the loaders earlier today to try and get the firmware as good as possible before Acekard finally take over development. It is in the best interests of my self to get out while I still can. I've been the only one maintaining AKAIO recently and its been hard so the decision was made to sell AKAIO and move onto another project. nOS ftw!

What's so bad about this? AKAIO is now owned by the AceKard team so they can do whatever they want with it?

Also, what was that bit about SoulAnger and menuDO? I didn't really understand.
From what I understand:
SoulAnger was developing an alternative menu system, MenuDO.
When he sold it to AceKard team, he had a condition that Smiths cannot touch the source at all, so as a result, he will not be developing with Normatt when AK Team takes AKAIO.

I'm hoping for the best, but I don't really know what will happen..

Anyone doubts this is an April Fools?

forget was it cnet or something?


This year, AKAIO is purchased by Acekard...

Except this is a lot more believable than that ridiculous CNET take over joke from last year. I don't think anyone believed that lie.
