First of all Curious Labs is not a small company or even an American company anymore. People are thinking old school here. Ahh, the memories... Curious Labs is now owned by e-frontier, a Japanese company who main product is Shade which is the #1 selling 3D app in Japan. So is Curious Labs a small company. They used to be, but they are now part of a much bigger company. Why would they again release a product with know bugs in it. I think that it was to start promoting Shade which is being given away FREE. This is why e-frontier bought Curious Labs in the first place; to gain and promote their product (Shade) worldwide. Now who runs Curious Labs? This small company everyone is quick to defend... Hiroshi SATO CEO Since graduating Waseda University, Japan, in 1987 with a degree in law, Sato has accumulated his business experiences as a Venture Capitalist in Asian countries. With his background and experience, SATO specializes in managing the small but emerging company for future expansion. In 2002, he joined e frontier, Japan, as a Director. Following the acquisition of Curious Labs, Mr. SATO accepted his current role as CEO for Curious Labs, California. He now leads Curious Labs towards worldwide business and development to further expand the quality of 3D software solutions based on Poser and Shade technologies.
