Ruffian, did Gregg ever deal with the question of whether Q's key patents expire in 2006, and what happens to the $20 billion revenue stream then. 'course i don't know whether they do so expire then, nor whether Dr Jacobs has a strategy to deal with it IF it's true.
i think of Gregg Powers as John the Baptist. heralded the First Coming, disappeared (i hope not) on Salome's platter.
still quoted.
this amazing phenomenon, this era of tech stocks at the beginning of a real revolution, has such interesting overtones of religion, profound love of an abstraction, the holding of an asset that is some marks on a piece of paper or on a computer screen, the joy or despair when the accompanying numbers become larger or smaller, the revered "object" can never be held, sniffed, tasted. i'm not viewing this from afar; i'm deep in it with all of you. but it's strange. generation after generation, we and our descendants will croak on our deathbeds, "don't sell the qualcomm." |
