OK boys and girls...that's it for me. I was going to leave SI a few months ago because of time constraints and the deteriorating quality of SI. I have noticed that this thread has deteriorated into nothing more than a constant barrage of insults by scam stock-touting cretins. It has become impossible to point out possible frauds or crim stocks without attracting endless amounts of noise and harrassment - there are some days when I scroll down this thread and a good 90% of the messages are [ignored]. I even have people on other threads (such as IDX) spreading lies and misleading information about me...long after I have closed my position in the stock. So I am retiring permanently from posting on SI (though I will probably still read it now and then). I will, however, be posting on www.masteringwallstreet.com (the TCV ventures site). At least the cost of the site and the monitoring of its chat effectively bars the nitwits, and I can discuss my trades much, much closer to real-time. Au revoir, BW

" -Home appliances that may be easily controlled from a phone, or deposit voice/text messages to a phone. (Ideally a home network should support all electric appliances so you can dial your home number and instead of just an answering machine/fax combo you could also get options to control various aplliances.) " Commercially, this is pie in the sky. Fortune 500 co I work for has done pilot programs. The cost is huge, benefits miniscule, customer interest on mass scale is almost non-existent, laughable. Would you really sit at the office, your construction site, or at the movies and worry about how your diswasher is doing? Our customers said, "NO." And they certainly weren't about to pay for the privelidge. Bill if you really want a sure short, find an conpany that is built on "Home appliances that may be easily controlled from a phone". Then again, we'll all soon be buying cars that will announce to us in computer audio voice if our arses need wiping!! LOL!
