TJ, your DeVices are certainly impressive. <geewhizbangohwhoawee apple mac pro w/ 12-cores 24 gbytes ram 2 terabytes sshd 27.5" hd antiglare screen and full complement of the usual graphics, mac mini server, time capsule backups, wifi, all connected via very faaaast 100 m/s optic fibre to the greater world. >

You could glue one of the gold ingots to it to really make it impressive.

Meanwhile, Qualcomm results out and it turns out people are buying Qualcomm Snapdragon asics like hotcakes. I wonder if they are more valuable per ounce than gold. Even if not, millions of them are mined from sand [silica]] [maybe it's gallium with arsenic] or similar source quite easily and at low cost. Demand doesn't seem to be reached even though millions are produced.

Not only are Snapdragons valuable, like gold, they are actually useful and do things such as keeping errant husbands happy when away with their DeVices on a weekend.

You could do an experiment. Put some gold coins and an iPhone down by Jack and see which he plays with longer. He'd probably just eat them both. But at least the iPhone could play some music which he'd like.
