From the shocked department...

Wow.

I don't know what to say. I had been hoping this would be announced soon, but wow. I'm at a loss for words.

I first found out about this at OSNews.com, they have a lively discussion raging now.

Some more press releases:

- Money Central (MSN)
- Reuters Asia
- Stock World (Germany)
- NASDAQ

My take: I think this is absolutely pathetic that only 23.25 million was offered. How can such a travesty be taken lightly?
