I thought it only fair that I summarize the weekend's major discussion points so that we might find closure and move on to other, more important things, like, say, panda bear pictures.
A regular cell either holds no charge (a logical "false"), or it holds a lawyer (which objects to the term "logical", as it is hearsay). The latter is the preferred state, as putting lawyers in a cell is not quite as good as putting them at the bottom of the ocean, but it, too, is a good start.
A multi-level cell either contains:
1. A charge.
2. No charge.
3. pi
4. A naked photograph of Pamela Anderson Lee.
...which makes it ideal for most Internet applications.
It is important to remember that Multi-level cells have nothing whatsoever to do with the Lexar infringement lawsuit. This means that that during deposition, lawyers for both sides will be limited to no more than 6 billable hours of questions regarding multi-level cells, per witness.
Which brings us to the question: "Is SanDisk a gorilla?"
Technically speaking, no. For those unfamiliar with the popular investing tome "The Gorilla Game", the term "gorilla" was first applied to Microsoft, not when it became a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, but when it shipped, as a component of the ever-popular operating system, Windows 3.1., a DOS-based game of exploding-banana-hurling gorillas standing atop skyscrapers. "Boy, what a great game" said the barrons of Wall Street, and a legend was born.
But I digress.
The key questions that now face this forum are: Are cells that transcend binary storage of data the future of electronic storage media? Is SanDisk a front-runner in that technology? If Ausdauer and Craig Freeman and a lawyer and the CEO of Lexar were standing in a room, and Aus and Craig had a gun with only one bullet, whom would they shoot?
I, for one, look forward to the answers.
And now they are making me return to my multi-level cell.
