Immersion Appoints Apple Senior VP to Board of Directors

Immersion Appoints Apple Senior VP to Board of Directors is today’s business-side update, the sort of suit-and-spreadsheet news that still decides what games actually reach players.

The useful part: “I’m pleased to announce the appointment of Jon Rubinstein to our Board of Directors,” said Louis Rosenberg, president and CEO of Immersion. “Jon brings extensive organizational management and business experience to our team. We look forward to benefiting from his engineering expertise and direction as we build our business.” Prior to joining Apple Computer Rubinstein was executive vice president and chief operating officer at Fire Power Systems and vice president, Hardware and Hardware Engineering at NeXT Computer. File it under the usual 1999 PC pile: interesting, crowded, and probably fighting five other releases for attention.
