Hi h0db; Re: "I know you aren't that clueless. Are you now trying to avoid the DoJ as well? Quite a few people believe you were part of the campaign."
This is just more proof that "quite a few people" are clueless. You guys have been saying that Bilow is about to disappear for legal reasons damn near monthly for 4 years. I'm still here. Most of the Rambus bulls are long gone.
Re: "Bert McComas and Inquest are gone."
Analysts come and go. And what happened to that famous pro Rambus analyst, the ex Rambus VP who ran DramReview? But I'm still here.
Re: "Sherry is "perplexed.""
This is just word play. Sherry is still out there making (amateurish) predictions about the electronics industry. You may not like what she has to say, but so what. If I recall correctly (and it was a long time ago) there was a time when she was convinced that RDRAM was going to make it.
Re: "Robertson's parent magazine, EBN, just folded."
EBN got bought by CMP, which "folded" it into EE-Times, which they also own and largely reproduced the same editorial content, and a new rag they're starting:
...
Monday, Dec. 15, 2003, was the last issue of EBN. In its place, in the first quarter of 2004, CMP Electronics Group will launch a new title, Electronics Supply & Manufacturing (ESM), a monthly publication serving the information needs of the global OEM and EMS management audience with information and insight on how to manage their business, supply base, supply chain, design chain and manufacturing strategies.
...
ebnonline.com
Of course the fact that CMP owned both EBN and EE-Times was already a big scandal with the Rambus (the world revolves around Rambus) crowd, so you already knew that. And EE-Times is still not only around but quite healthy, and still publishing the occasional article about DRAM:
SMIC to supply Elpida with 0.1-micron DRAMs
EE-Times, December 29, 2003
eetimes.com
Maybe Jack Robertson is gone, I don't know. I can find a Jack Robertson article at EE-Times as recently as October, but I don't know if he still works there, it seems mighty quiet. Here's his apparently last article:
eetimes.com
But Jack Robertson doesn't have anything to do with Rambus or the memory market. Most of his articles were about other things. It's classic Rambus dementia to "connect the dots" everywhere on the planet to Rambus. No, journalists do not have sinecures that allow them to keep the same job forever. Just like everyone else, they get to resign, get fired, quit, move on, die, retire, or whatever. I don't know which is Robertson's case. And his name is so common that I've not been able to find out. If you know, please share.
Re: "I can appreciate your need for fancy footwork."
This is a classic example of Rambus thinking. In addition to my not having the slightest connection to anyone in the memory industry, any "footwork" that appears on SI has nothing to do with any legal proceeding or anything else anywhere. Do you think that judges, juries, the FTC, etc., read SI?
Sorry to have to break the news, but almost no one reads this thread. As proof, simply note the times where this thread has discussed breaking news before it was appreciated by the stock market. Not a feather of a move for the stock until it got reported by EE-Times or whoever. This thread just doesn't matter.
