Google bought a startup former Apple engineers

Agnilux, a little-known start-up for the general public, was another acquisition of Google, Thomson Reuters PEHub reported yesterday. This is a fairly secret startup, no one even knows exactly what he does. Thus, the purchase of Agnilux can be called one of the most mysterious transactions of Google over the past seven months, since Eric Schmidt announced the start of buying startups .

There is almost no information about Agnilux. Their Spartan website is already closed, but is still available through the search cache .

It is only known that startup Agnilux was founded by former engineers of PA Semi, the chip maker that Apple bought in 2008, now this company is designing processors for the iPad and iPhone 4G.

A month ago, the NY Times journalists tried to dig up information about Agnilux, but did not succeed. It turned out that the company was founded by former employees of PA Semi, Apple and Scott Redman, a TiVo system programmer.

According to analysts, most likely Agnilux is developing a new processor, which Google can use for its servers. True, the TiVo programmer doesn’t fit into this picture a bit, so things can be very different (for example, the future digital TV project Google TV can grow from here).
