Captain Jack & Flotsum:
CJ: Not to play devils advocate, but as philosophy major I have spent a lot of time dissecting text to be either pro or con my argument. There has been a lot of interpretation regarding Mr. Sprague's email. I want to spin the quote you cited differently:
{Steven says, "...regarding a consortium of companies discussing the value of client side security. This article is no surprise to us given the hopes we have for market acceptance of this type of technology. We have been in discussions with many of the companies mentioned in the article and continue to pursue alternatives for implementation."}
"The hopes we have for...." is not a sentence that quickly conveys certainty at all. Further, the last sentence could also be construed as failure to be accepted by the consortium, and now WAVX is in the process of finding "alternatives for implementation." Please do not think that I am against our little chip, I am in fact very loooong and probably about to add a little more. I am just fearful that we may be finding too much good news in these foggy emails.
Flotsam: With regards to your idea about a giant digital library of pictures, I think it is a great idea and so did Bill Gates about two years ago. I can't remember what he called it, but he set out to buy the digital rights to a lot of famous pictures, scenes, paintings, etc. This doesn't mean we can't make it wave enabled and make $ from it.
Good luck to all, and to WAVX.
