Earnings still out for 7/22? Stock down about 7 points yesterday in the market bloodbath. That I can understand. Today it is down another 7 points to 63. That is worrisome. I get nervous about such moves right ahead of an earnings announcement. But maybe it is just the market adjusting. These days, unless a company trounces the whisper number, it's bad news.

Can they put POWI chips in cell phones? My cell phone, if left on, is good for something like 1 day. Couldn't a POWI chip extend that to 7 days or something? And if it is possible, why isn't it done yet? I would think there would be quite a demand for cell phones that held a charge longer.
