semi,

NOBODY was beating a path to his door for the original Dolby Noise Reduction technology

Dolby's beginnings were rather different than Rambus'. Rambus got Intel locked into a very complex legal and financial relationship, long before DRDRAM technology was proven. This is a credit to the legal department at Rambus, and makes one question the leadership at Intel.

Since then, the Rambus technology has largely failed. Most benchmarks show no performance gain at a significant price premium. Instead of developing a useful technology, Rambus has gone a different direction. Those same brilliant Rambus lawyers have figured out how to extract money from other people's products. In the animal kingdom, this is known as being a parasite.

I think it is very unfair to Dolby to compare them with Rambus.
