I'm getting quite the belly laugh out of noting that Rambus apparently left so much SDRAM money on the table, and I'll take your advice:
-- Carl
P.S. Rambus - the bumbling company that let billions of dollars worth of SDRAM be produced for six years without them being paid any royalties, thereby missing the bulk of the big SDRAM production years, failing to take advantage of their intellectual property, and blowing their fiduciary duties to their shareholders. [If I were a long term share holder, I'd be pretty pissed at how poorly Rambus took advantage of their SDRAM design efforts.] |
