OT Silicon Investor Ten Millionth techstocks.com No he didn't go over 20 posts! He was well under. Where did you get that from? Here it is: techstocks.com Check his profile and count them. I don't get 20. Also, I don't see a Lexus anywhere. Free air trip {I wonder if that would have included from NZ}, $1,000 spending money and dinner with the Dryers, Russ, and I guess Jill the Jailer. Also some other little perks but no Lexus! Appropriate that Leap scored the 10,000,001 post. Qualcomm and CDMA leading the way in The New Paradigm as usual. Thanks for scoring the start of the next 10million in the Leap thread John Stokes III. Incidentally {and starting to feel like Jon Koplik with silly thoughts} how come nobody makes it past Third? Isn't it William Gates III? There are plenty of IIs. Lots of IIIs. But no IVs. Maybe they misunderstand the IV and being of generally wealthy families, end it all in a rich, heroin-induced coma. Centuries ago they got up to Henry 8th and George the Fifth and stuff like that and ended it all with a beheading. I suppose since land gave way to The Industrial Revolution and now to The New Paradigm, the inheritance and lordly positions have faded. Sorry John, not slinging off at all, just caught in an idle eddy of consciousness. On the rate of expansion of Qualcomm sales and finances, I think it is neither asymptotic [which was possibly a negative statement as pointed out and ending in a linear growth isn't what would happen anyway. Neither will it be parabolic which is a boring old square function. Nor even exponential which could also be a boring y = f[x2] and just another parabola. We are enjoying a cubic. Yesirree Bob, y = f[x3]. The sky's not the limit there! The reason it is cubic is because that's how people work. We are neuron connectors. Which means we do it in 3D. Which means fast! We'll carry on up that triple orthogonality Piha style happy wave function until new variables like everyone-has-one, new stuff starts coming in, Janet Reno launches an attack, a comet hits the Pacific and reduces the CDMA markets in Los Angeles, Tokyo, Shanghai and a lot more besides by nearly 100%. Then the curve will round off and eventually go into decline. Hopefully not until about 2080 by which time I will have given up to the next generation too. Okay, it could be sooner. Heck, possibly tomorrow, for you guys too [that would be today here]. I notice too that Gregg must agree {having thought about it more} that 3G convergence is a good thing, contrary to his post suggesting fragmentation of standards might help Qualcomm. Somebody else also pointed out [as I did] that there will be plenty to develop such as MSM4000 MSM5000, EarCell [TM], Anita [TM], EudoraCoin [TM], 5G Globalstar and a lot more besides without messing around with artificially created 'standards'. Let's standardize on cdmaOne chip rate [assuming there is no evidence that a higher rate is better] and go like mad. I bet that happens and the current jousting is just some more positioning by Ericy and all the others. Waiting for the chip rate is fun! Double your money back guarantee that it is a single 3G chip rate. Send Q500 NOW, [$500 equivalent in Q! currency] by EudoraCoin transfer and avoid disappointment. Maximum bet Q10,000. Email address Mqurice@EudoraMail.com NTT is quavering. Telecom NZ has cdmaOne tender documents out. China is talking convergence. So is Vodafone/AirTouch. The pressure must be immense. There's no way they can wait until the end of the year [though Ericy probably has their hands full getting infrastructure sorted out and will announce a common chip rate as soon as they are ready to supply China, NTT, Telecom NZ and others - they better hurry or they'll miss out]. Nokia is making sure they aren't the bad guy and no doubt wants to stay close to Q! technology rather than Ericy. Meanwhile, Microsoft has really turned the heat on CDMA! They saw that coming, so I guess I might have to revise the size of Q! in relation to MSFT which is sure to grow along with Q! though not as fast since MSFT will start dropping in their desktop sales while Q! has ASICs, IPR, software and the gadgets while MSFT just has some software [which will still be very, very bigtime]. Okay, back to your regular programming. Mqurice Dow 8099 21 June [get ready, big breath! hold tight!]
