Not one of those "Dear Thread" posts again...King is shocked!!! Time magazine does a cover story with the Stephen King experience as a centerpiece. Now Gemstar and Thomson (yes, the RCA Lyra guys) go in together on a next generation eBook.Shawn Fanning is all over investment and lay press periodicals speaking of Napster. Universities block access to the website only to recant by rewriting the software to allow access first to files stored on high-speed Internet connections, thereby alleviating net congestion.The first SD MemoryCard product is announced, even though it is given some silly code name.First , Eli would like to spare the expense of a separate mailing and vote by utilizing the upcoming Shareholders' meeting for the balloting. Second , Eli is expecting a great quarter and this increase in shares is a way of telegraphing in a subtle manner that further appreciation in the stock price is likely to occur after the next earnings release. Third , there may be some company they are after as a acquisition. This seems less likely given the fact that Eli stated during the last c.c. that they did not wish to stray away from core competencies. Also, they have enough value left in outstanding issuable shares (at the current stock price) to buy a smaller competitor or IP house anyway.
