It's official: QCOM $58.7 billion vs NOK $58.0 billion. QUALCOMM is now a bigger deal than Nokia [as determined by people buying and selling shares, acknowledging Pcstel's comment].
Congratulations to our local sage, Mr Jon Koplik for his perspicacious prediction.
AND it was done by QCOM going up, not just by NOK going down. What price ERICY, NOK and the hagfish guild? Ha! Ha! Ha! to them. Nyeah, nyeah, nyeah. Come in Bill Frezza. Tero, Tero, wherefore art thou Tero?
Congratulations more so to the wizardly winners of QUALCOMM Incorporated who have created such a great technology. They might not know it yet, but they have created more than a great new technology. Inventing a neuron is a good thing, but what happens next is the thing which really gets things humming.
When two neurons hook up, there isn't a lot to say. When 170 million hook up, and start voting Google-like for which should fire when, we get smart critters like the octopus. Wire up 100 billion and we start to see smart people like Jon Koplik accurately predicting the future, not to mention the even more impressive Drs J & V who create the future. brainplace.com
As cyberphones proliferate, they are going to increasingly behave like neurons, but very smart neurons. As they vote for which are the good neurons at any particular time, the whole mass of them is going to behave just like a dirty great monstrous brain.
Nature hasn't reached the end-game with the pathetic bucket of wet chemistry called humans, who can barely learn to tie shoe laces let alone decipher the Calabi Yau equations defining black hole behaviour. Stephen Hawking has given it up as too hard and admitted he got it wrong. We, the Sheeple are bamboozled by bus timetables!
Humans are just a stepping stone enroute to the real thing. We are the template for construction of the next stage, just as Lucy was the template for humans to be sorted out of the biomass a few million years ago.
Meanwhile, back in the jungle, those 'neurons' [people] who don't have a cyberphone hooked up to It are going to be omitted from the big picture. Nature is a harsh taskmaster. The digital divide isn't going to close. It's going to open even further and faster. Especially when genetic engineering means we can plug in smart genes.
Humans will be nodes in the Web; 3D interface actionators in symbiotic harmony with It.
This is the biggest thing not just since the industrial revolution, or even since the wheel was invented. It's bigger than everything invented since fire and the stone age. It's bigger than the invention of humans by Lucy. This is even bigger than the invention of sexual reproduction a billion years ago [or whenever it was]. This is about as big a deal as the invention of DNA and RNA and that biochemical soup called life itself. This is a very big deal. Ted Kaczynski had no idea what was coming!
Meanwhile, I hereby declare you the Supreme Winner and will make a Globalstar phone call, using my Ericsson Globalstar phone, connected to the Dubbo gateway via a satellite over the Tasman Sea to congratulate you if you wish. What's your Globalstar phone number? Or maybe you traded it in long ago.
Well done,
Mqurice
PS: I note in passing that Uncle Al KBE said that everything is economically hunky dory, so interest rates are going to rise, again. Contrary to your theory, QUALCOMM's share price did not decline. It has been going up as interest rates have gone up. Mq was right. |
