So i think it is pretty obvious now that there are NO Engineers or work being done by BFL

1)They have outsourced the lot
2) Their key role is purely Sales
3) Maybe some assembly but thats it!

I don't quite understand your point. When you need (more) engineering expertise, but you don't need any (more) full time engineers, you...outsource.

Is there something wrong with that?

Inaba stood on his podium not long ago and told us all how he had basically designed the damn things, had made great achievements in ASICs. Now, not so true.

As I said back then and still do today, they paid someone else to do all the hard work. They just basically pointed out the specs sheet and discussed the main bullet points as far as I am concerned.

Poor guy didn't even know when the ASICs were coming out of the Fabbing Oven.

-------------------------

Just now, on the BFL forums he went to fly somewhere to find out in person how the whole thing is going. You could say he was just a glorified phone call/email assistant and an attendant at the door coordinating the incoming boxes of new parts.

Sorry to make it sound harsh, but that is how I see it.

P.S. I very highly doubt BFL_Jody was talking about BFL_Josh as the engineer who didn't call her with an update. She meant the "real engineers". You know, the people who are actually making it. (IMO and "Speculation")
