Qualcomm expands R&D in Shanghai... yay!! <"Shanghai has become one of the global epicenters for mobile system and handset design, making it the perfect choice for Qualcomm's latest center for platform-level innovation," said Xiang Wang, senior vice president of Qualcomm and president of Qualcomm Greater China. "We are confident that our R&D center in Shanghai will help drive continued innovation of 3G chipset solutions by leveraging the expertise of our local companies and the talent of exceptional employees." >
Qualcomm mines China for talent not gold. Gold is so last century. Mobile cyberspace is loved by everyone.
Recommendation - sell gold, buy mobile cyberspace. HTC Desire arriving here tomorrow. I just have to pay some GST for Fedex to make the delivery. What an amazing device. engadget.com Note they mention "drool".
Gold doesn't cause drool. Gold is just a manifestation of fear, a symbol of stasis, a finangling of finance, a cul de sac on the highway of life. Real men feel the fear and fly. Real men go where no man has gone before. They don't cringe, clutching their shiny little golden family jewels hoping that the maelstrom passes them by. They cast aside the atavism of the Luddites, bypass the past, and create the present from the future, out of thin air.
This time 100 years ago my grandfather was in Shanghai, at 1 The Bund, bringing the industrial revolution to China via the oil industry. Now the mobile cyberspace revolution is arriving on the shores of the Huangpu river, brought by Qualcomm.
By 1915 he was in France in the midst of carnage in WWI. One of my father's cousins [Ormond Burton] was there too having survived the carnage at Gallipoli fighting the Turks of the Ottoman Empire. I am hoping that the current woes such as on the border between the Koreas and with China sabre rattling over Taiwan and geopolitical shenanigans across Eurasia don't turn into something untoward.
I wonder if this is the last of the good times and we'll soon be back to the bad old days. Maybe I should have kept my father's bayonet and lemon squeezer [from 8th Army days defeating Adolf's African adventure].
With the wonders of CDMA/OFDM phragmented photons suffusing the aether bringing peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love, we can relax, she'll be right.
Meanwhile, it's time to upgrade your mobile cyberspace device. You'll get a lot more out of it than buying another ounce of gold.
