I wasn't aware of that. Thank you; just assumed Mann's was ripped off because he was so prominent in the space and well known.

This article is what provoked the assumption.

Having worked with Steve for a while, I can assure you that he believes he was ripped off. Only a judge can decide for sure.

Didn't know this either. For anyone else curious, Starner + AR go back to the 90s [1]

The person Chatterhead cites actually has work that goes back substantially earlier, but it's important to point people to the right direction so blame for Glass isn't misattributed.

In the dark future there is only war between the Thadbots and the Manndroids!
