VERY OT--PLEA TO GET BACK ON TOPIC

Thank you for your view on grammar. I am sure the distinguished SanDisk thread will be thrilled to hear that you consider its [not their] title to be within the bounds of our flexible language usage. (No wonder Americans drive the Brits nuts.)

"India are a better team. . . ." Really?

Typically, if one refers to a corporation, one should refer to "its." "Their" is incorrect for the reason you demonstrated. You took their to mean the assets of the corporation. Others would take that word to refer to the employees of the corporation. Still others would assume it refered to the stockholders of the corp.

But, I could hardly care less. You want to use "liberal" grammar usage in sentences like "India are a better team. . . ." then there is nothing I can do to stop you.

Now, can we get vaguely back to QCOM, wireless, CMDA, Dr. IJ's house, NTT DoCoMo, Nokia, weather in San Diego, what car are parked in front of Qualcomm's HQ or something even tangentially related to Qualcomm?
