Amy,

What do you think of the $88MM they raised? Any idea what their burn rate is?

As you know, I'm not much use when it comes to financial stuff. I have the feeling that their product is very interesting academically, but of limited value in the marketplace.

The experience of the industry has always been that hardware functions are better implemented in hardware (rather than software.) Remember the media processors?
