If they had a couple of unbeatable patents that they just couldn't figure out how to turn into products, that's almost forgivable -- you blew your launch, so you sell out to a company who has the resources to make your ideas into something the public will buy. But as far as I can tell, these guys don't really have any IP worth buying them out for.
