How do you know when a Finn has had too much to drink?


Still, Nokia's loyal consumers find ways to celebrate the new phones. In Finland, for example, people at parties have taken to standing up long rows of the diminutive 8210 phones and then placing calls to them. Lined up end to end, the phones' vibrating rings makes them dance around in circles -- good for a laugh on a long, dark winter night.

Hi Chaz, QUALCOMM's growth path? I didn't listen to the call and I'm way behind in paddling down the SI streams. But, apart from the ongoing tango with China over CDMA, which will eventually, and sooner rather than later, resolve in favour of CDMA, QUALCOMM seems still to have an upward trajectory limited only by the JJJ actions of the biggest monopoly the world has ever seen. That's Joel Klein, Judge Jackson and Janet Reno. The KKK was bad, but largely ineffectual, being a disaffected bunch of violent tribalists. The JJJ Jihad against Microsoft is an indicator of where things will go with QUALCOMM eventually. Sure, Al Gore winning the Presidency, The New Paradigm, ...oh heck, I don't have time.

Anyway, QUALCOMM has got huge prospects. Remember my Q currency rants about EudoraCoin and stuff. Check out SVNX share price = 724 Solutions. Seems that others have figured out that if you add the multitrillion market capitalisation of hordes of financial intermediaries which will be disintermediated with the onset of encrypted currency in Q! WWeb ASICs using 724 Solutions software, there is going to be one of the biggest economic shifts in human history. Banks are heading for obsolescence [for the most part]. People will use financial institutions which hold their stocks, bonds and other financial instruments as their 'bank'. They'll transact direct from there....oh heck. Gotta go.

Anyway, we all need half a dozen Qualcomm devices [ASICs anyway or at least the technology they sell]. Sure, the world's population is going to crash and there will be big Time articles about it in a year or 5 as it dawns on people that the whole biological history of humans is about to do a 'punctuated equilibrium' evolutionary leap into the future [without the equilibrium part] hand in hand with the Web, both fibre and WWeb. Nevertheless, there will be a LOT of gadgets used and the Web might have more demands for WWeb devices than the humans do. To control 3D input, and a billion other data inputs. Oops, a petabillion other inputs.

Stuff like that.

Anyway, I sold my Leap Wireless International stock! $92 seemed a decent price for a gas station. I can't see anything special about Leap which any Mom and Pop gas station operator can't do, which means commodity price returns comparable with TBonds. After the WWeb excitement has died down anyway and Cat's Eye marketing ["Current Price Is ..."] is the conventional pricing method to ensure always on, always available, cheap, high quality, ubiquitous WWeb is ...well, you know what I mean.

Enough ranting. Need to check the good Qualcomm thread. Just a little rant for old time's sake.
