Scumbria,
That is true. Investors realized that the fortunes of Rambus were tied to SDRAM and DDR, and not DRDRAM.
In other words, Carl was 100% dead on correct about DRDRAM. Why is everyone taking shots at Carl?
First, you're committing the same sin that Carl did -- saying that some event that hasn't happened yet is correct. No one, not you, not Carl, not me, not Stuart, no one knows whether RDRAM will have 0% or 50% market share in a couple of years, so no one is correct about anything when they predict its demise.
Second, is this the type of prediction that you think Carl is so correct about?

Rambus is quite dead. It may have a few more twitches as it subsides into coma and decay, but its future is quite obvious. The shares have been largely shoved into the hands of mom and pop, and mom and pop may run the short interest, but in the end, the company is quite dead.
I know you think Carl has only been saying that RDRAM is dead, but that is extremely incorrect. He's been saying that the company is dead as well. And while I'm at it, you also said he didn't take personal shots, however I contend that all of his "mom and pop" quotes are incredibly insulting to all of us who believe this company has quite a future.
Carl has been wrong so many times I've lost count. You could pick a better idol.
