Symbionica

"We believe that well designed software should be both more and less than what is commonly found. For presenting as well as capturing information, we should extend more deeply into the fabric of daily work, school and home life, and do so with less disruption to and fewer demands upon people. With our Home and Business product lines, we plan to similarly augment and "mine" existing behaviors and desires with engaging and seemingly effortless new software."
