Kash, RE:Rambus as a cornered wolverine. I absolutely agree with you on this. As to whether their patents are enforceable, it depends on what they can convince a judge of. In some respects this whole debacle has been good, it points out in such fine detail some major problems in our patent system that have accumulated as Congress has tried to wrestle with the whole IP issue. Now I could wish it were in a sector and didn't involve companies where I have such a large percentage of my net worth invested, but such is life, or lack thereof. "In the beginning there was the foot race. After that, the arms race, followed by the brain race. Hopefully, in the end, we will have the human race". A quote from John Brunner's "Shockwave Rider". I need to find my copy so I can fix the errors in my memory, no doubt he did a better job writing it than I did remembering it. Still it makes a good point, and we have started the brain race...
