>Source: The Korea Herald, via Info tech > >best, Earlie. funny how that was never reported ANYWHERE here in the US, even though plenty of people speculated out loud. just another page in the book of monetizing shareholder ignorance.. receive a truckload of warrants from Rambus, then do whatever it takes to make those warrants worth millions.. obviously with RMBS up 4x in the last week, those warrants are worth more than the royalty payments they agreed to pay. i'm not sure if there is anything illegal here, but at the very least it's extremely deceptive. i know for a fact that rambus is providing their RDRAM chips to Sony for the playstation 2 at roughly 1/4th the current spot market prices. why? i guess publicity. they need to be able to point to some major player using their products.. because in the desktop PC space, RDRAM is a joke. not only does it cost 4x the equivalent SDRAM, the stuff is actually marginally slower in almost every real world performance test.
