SOE Picks Up Matrix Online on 1UP has some follow-up on news that The Matrix Online is being sold to Sony Online Entertainment. The report confirms that job offers have been extended to 25 of the "over two dozen" employees let go from Monolith due to the sale. The update also describes the transition plan:

With that said, the transition will not be completely seamless. SOE described the process to 1UP.com as "almost transparent." In a few weeks, The Matrix Online users will be asked to re-submit their billing information to SOE and continue paying their standard monthly fee or sign-up for the SOE All-Access Pass, which includes games like EverQuest, EverQuest 2, PlanetSide, EverQuest on PlayStation 2, Star Wars Galaxies and now The Matrix Online.

The concept of Skynet is one older than Ellison even.

Most of these movies are taking old theories and pushing them a bit. I'm thankful movies do them less than books, though. Half the books I brought to the beach last summer involved AI running out of control. They weren't even science fiction books, they seemed like nerdy mysteries! THE COMPUTER WAS ALWAYS THE ONE DOING THE MURDERS! AND IT WAS OBVIOUS FROM THE FIRST CHAPTER, WHEN IT WAS MENTIONED AS A "THINKING COMPUTER."

God I hate stupid books, but for some reason it's all I ever read on beaches.
