Gentlemanly not a survival trait? Well, it depends on what the definition is, but I'd say good character is a premium survival trait and that's why people adopt it. Being an obnoxious, aggressive, dishonest slob is not the way to get customers and whether high tech or low tech, getting high value customers is what it's about.

I haven't personally seen anything bad about Microsoft and I prefer to judge on evidence I see rather than gossip. I doubt that Qualcomm would have formed WirelessKnowledge if they didn't have confidence that they were in a manageable relationship with Microsoft. Sure, things don't always go smoothly, such as the Motorola association, or Nortel's, but even Ericy was tamed. Maybe there will be rough patches in the MSFT relationship, but I suppose they'll be able to keep things on track.

Meanwhile, Globalstar now has 36 satellites safely in orbit. That's enough to start selling service. They need to mess around with them a bit to get them up to the right level and positioned.
