Just in case you didn’t see this yesterday.

Anonymous tip which they didn’t a confirmation or denial. Rush to publish much?
Bre Pettis and Stratasys deserve raw sewage dumped on them regardless of if this is true or false.
Its not a rumor, its true. I posted the 3dprint version but it has since been covered by other news sites.
Well, did any of the other sites manage to get a confirmation?
OK, it does appear Makezine got confirmation from Stratasys.
Hopefully it means he will actually invent instead of steal.
Statasys said “Bre, I am your Father”
Anyone else have the sneaking suspicion that this “promotion” is really to get him out of the CEO role so they can replace him with someone who isn’t a founding member of the “cult of done” (http://www.brepettis.com/blog/2009/3/3/the-cult-of-done-manifesto.html) and actually thinks that it’s not the best idea to ship a product that isn’t finished and doesn’t work?
There’s interesting ideas there, but making it a life mantra or a business model seems irresponsible and a disservice to customers.
That’s right, it’s about a satyr.
