Resolution 3 - Re-appointment of Deloitte LLP as independent auditors

Resolution 4 - Authorize the Directors to determine the auditors' remuneration

Comment: Last year the Board also asked for "Authority to make market purchases of company shares". Did they do a share buyback? They did not. What the hell is the point of asking for authority and then not using it?

Item 8 is interesting. Why would they want to call a meeting other than an AGM? Maybre they expect a takeover approach. I sure hope so - put all their long-suffering shareholders out of their misery once and for all (and hopefully at a nice premium to the IPO price)...

From nielsenwire

Question: if Blinkx is only number 10 in that list, how can it be "the world’s largest and most advanced video search engine"? It might be the most advanced, but it clearly isn't the largest?

More of management's weasel words?
