dream on...

You think Hitachi went to all that trouble and then caved in on the basis of a change of heart? They changed their mind when they found out what they were up against.

There are too many pathetic tears here for the "poor" DRAM companies. It is those companies that are trying to use what they didn't invent and bully Rambus by forcing them to use the expensive legal option - in the hope that Rambus runs out of money.

Re: Often, deals are just struck to minimize costs of litigation... Still, it would be interesting to see it really tested.

It would be interesting to know what actual royalty rates Rambus actually settles for. Why is Rambus so desperate to keep them secret? Could they be closer to .01% than the 1% or 2% that they keep hinting at?
