Some cities in California are so bloated in debt and other problems they are considering dissolution. Mercury News asks is this The End of Half Moon Bay? Between budget losses and lawsuit payments, Half Moon Bay's financials have become so dire that if a local sales tax measure doesn't pass this November, officials say they may have to disincorporate.

Gruber claims that "Mike Arrington gets smacked around in the first round of his lawsuit over the JooJoo/CrunchPad.

He then goes on too snarkily add, "Curiously, I've seen no coverage of this decision on TechCrunch." Because I am admittedly fascinated with the case, I actually took the time to read…

Topics: Contract, Corporation, Dissolution, IPO, Sales

In addition to posting a lackluster $22.6 million in revenue, the company spun off a new energy storage startup called 24M Technologies to work on more unorthodox lithium-ion architectures. The company also tempered the good news, noting it has lost its contract to supply batteries to electric Fiat/Chrysler vehicles to a lower bidder. This is a big hit for the company, which is trying to compete in a big pond with few high-level deals of its own. While it has plans to deliver batteries for Fisker Automotive's plug-in luxury…
